D: DRIVE POSITION
Please note that the vehicle may slowly move forward on level
ground when the selector lever is in
“D”
.
CAUTION
• Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle after
shifting into
“D”
, or the transmission will be damaged. Especially,
when you start off on a hill after stopping and parking the vehicle,
wait for a while until the
“D”
shift indicator comes on with the
brake pedal depressed.
• Even while the gear is in
“D”
, the vehicle can roll down an
uphill according to the gradients, so you have to depress the
brake pedal.
• If you touch the selector lever unexpectedly while driving, the
shiftable gear may be changed. It can make the vehicle unstable.
Be careful not to touch the selector lever while driving (especially
during the winter season).
• Do not downshift abruptly (3, 2, or 1) when the vehicle speed is
high (D or 4). You could lose control and hit people or objects
(especially on a slippery road).
• If low-range maximum speeds are exceeded when the selector
lever is in low gears, the transmission can be damaged.
WARNING
• This is for normal driving on a public road or highway.
• When the
“D”
position is engaged, automatic shifting into one
of the 1st through 4th gears will happen based upon the ve-
hicle speed and how much the accelerator pedal is depressed.
• When the shift lever is engaged in one of the
“D”
,
“3”
,
“2”
,
or
“1”
positions, your vehicle can move forward without the
accelerator depressed. Extra caution is needed.
• When the shift lever is put into the
“D”
position from the
“N”
position or vice versa, you may feel some impact upon the
vehicle. This is a normal phenomenon caused by power trans-
fers from the engine to the transmission. Especially on a steep
hill, this can be more noticeable.
