Uphill Driving for Vehicle with M/T
(Vehicle with D20DT, EURO IV, ABS or ESP)
1. Depress the clutch pedal and the brake pedal, start the
engine and move the selector lever to the 1st gear
(reverse gear in reversing uphill) position.
2. If the clutch pedal is released slightly with the brake pedal
depressed, the engine rpm increases. (The increase in
engine rpm varies depending on the road inclination.)
3. The vehicle starts to move smoothly if you depress the
accelerator pedal while releasing the brake pedal after
checking that the engine rpm is raising.
4. Release the clutch pedal completely after the vehicle
starts off

Uphill Driving for Vehicle with A/T
(Vehicle with D20DT, EURO IV, ABS or ESP)
1. Depress the brake pedal, start the engine and move the
selector lever to the “D” (“R” in reversing uphill) position.
2. After this, wait for a few seconds until the power is
transferred, then release the brake pedal and depress
the accelerator pedal to start the vehicle.
If you release the brake pedal after moving the selector lever to
“D” or “R” position with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle
moves slowly to a desired direction due to the increased en-
gine rpm. However, the vehicle may move to the opposite direc-
tion when inclination is steep. For example, releasing the brake
while on a very steep road may cause the vehicle to skid back.
Use the parking brake to start the vehicle safely.

Parking Brake Operation When Driving Uphill
When driving on a steep uphill, it is safer to use the parking brake as follows: Apply the parking brake, follow steps
(Vehicle with M/T: steps 1 - 3, Vehicle with A/T: steps 1-2) and release the parking brake when the vehicle starts to move.
Caution in using half clutch mode (Vehicle with M/T)
When using the half clutch mode, there is no need to abruptly depress the accelerator pedal because the engine
power increases. When the accelerator pedal is continuously depressed in half clutch mode, the internal components
can be worn or damaged. Frequent use of half clutch mode is not recommended.
