TRANSMISSION AND CONTROLS
6-4
Kickdown Function
To rapidly accelerate, depress the accelerator pedal com-
pletely to the floor, which automatically engages a one- or
two-lever gear. This is called the Kickdown function.
Engine Brake
When the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle
is in motion, the engine speed decreases. This decreased
engine speed creates an extra braking force. On a down-
ward slope, engaging a lower gear can generate a slower
engine speed and eventually slow down the vehicle. Us-
ing this engine brake lets you decrease your vehicle speed
without excessively using the brake system. The lower the
gear, the greater the braking force.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A/T VEHICLE
Creep Phenomenon
Without stepping on the accelerator pedal, your vehicle can
move slowly if the shift lever is in any position other than
“P”
or
“N”
. This is called the creep effect. You can control
your vehicle’s movement by only applying the brake in heavy
traffic or narrow areas.
z
On a steep decline or incline, your vehicle may move in the oppo-
site direction of the intended direction in spite of the creep effect.
When stopping on a steep hill, always depress the brake pedal.
z
Shifting the shift lever to the
“N”
position while driving may cause
the engine brake to fail and cause an accident.
CAUTION
z
Do not use the kickdown operation while driving on slippery or
sharply curved roads. It may cause skidding and loss of control
and may lead to an accident.
z
Using the kickdown function too frequently may negatively affect
the durability and fuel economy of the vehicle.
CAUTION
z
Extended use of the brake pedal on a downward slope without
using the engine brake may significantly reduce the braking po-
tential of your vehicle due to the “vapor lock” or “fade” phenomenon.
z
Be aware that the engine brake does not work when the gear
shift lever is in the
“N”
position.
z
Avoid any abrupt engine braking on slippery roads to prevent slip-
ping of the tires.
