Starting and Driving Off
1. Always start the engine while the selector lever is in
“P”
and the brake pedal is depressed. For your safety, avoid
starting the engine from
“N”
even though you can do so.
2. Check whether or not the engine speed is in a normal op-
erating range (below 1,000 rpm). Keep the brake pedal de-
pressed and shift into
“D”
or
“R”
.
3. Depress the brake pedal, release the parking brake, and
move the gear selector lever to “D” position. Wait for a
while several seconds before driving off with the brake pedal
depressed.
4. To move the vehicle, release the brake pedal and depress
the accelerator pedal gradually.
• Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle after shift-
ing into “D”. Otherwise the transmission will be damaged. Especially,
when you start off after stopping, wait for a while until the “D1” shift
indicator comes on for several seconds with the brake pedal
depressed.
• When driving on a down hill, never shift the selector lever to “N”. If
you try to shift the lever to “D” from “N”, a sudden gear engage-
ment can damage the driving train.
• HDC is designed for driving down a steep hill. When HDC is
applied, do not shift to “N”. Otherwise, HDC will be deactivated.
• Even though you can start the engine with the selector lever in
both “P” or “N”, for your safety, always start the engine with
the selector lever in “P”.
• As a safety function, the gear selector lever cannot be moved
into the “P” or “R” position when the vehicle speed about 8 km/h.
• Never shift into “R” when the vehicle is moving.
CAUTION
• For your safety, always depress the brake pedal before moving
the gear selector lever with the vehicle stopped.
• Never depress the accelerator pedal when moving the gear selec-
tor lever.
• If you have to stop on a hill, depress the brake pedal securely.
• When starting the engine with the accelerator depressed, your ve-
hicle may abruptly move and cause an accident.
• When the parking brake is released while the engine is running at
a high rpm, your vehicle may abruptly move. Therefore, wait until
the engine speed becomes stable.
• To avoid any mechanical damages or accidents, never shift into
“P” or “N” while the vehicle is in motion.
• When driving at a high speed, any sudden attempt to shift from a
higher to a lower gear can severely damage the vehicle. In addition,
your vehicle may lose its stability and be at a high risk.
