Vehicles with cruise control—When the
cruise control is being used, even if you
downshift the transmission by pushing and
releasing the overdrive switch, engine
braking is not enabled because the cruise
control is not cancelled.

For ways to decrease the vehicle speed,
see “Cruise control” in this section.

CAUTION

Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to spin or
skid.

(e) Using “2” and “L” positions

The “2” and “L” positions are used for
strong engine braking as described pre-
viously.

With the selector lever in “2” or “L”, you
can start the vehicle in motion as with the
lever in “D”.

With the selector lever in “2”, the vehicle
will start in first gear and automatically
shift to the second gear.

With the selector lever in “L”, the trans-
mission is engaged in first gear.
