5. When vehicle speed has sufficiently in-
creased, use the shift paddle “
” to shift
into second gear (“2”).
6. Follow the same procedure when shifting
to the next higher gear.
To decelerate
When slowing down, release the accelerator
pedal and apply the brake pedal smoothly. As
you slow down, shift to a lower gear. Be sure
that the engine has sufficiently slowed before
engaging a lower gear. Improper use of the
brake pedal or shift paddles can cause the
tires to lose traction, reducing control and in-
creasing the possibility of an accident.
WARNING
EWB00712
Make sure the engine has sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a lower gear. En-
gaging a lower gear when the engine
speed is too high could make the wheels
stop rotating and lose traction. This could
cause loss of control, an accident and inju-
ry. It could also cause engine or drivetrain
damage.
Recommended shift points
The recommended shift points during accel-
eration and deceleration are shown in the fol-
lowing table.
TIP
When coming to a stop under normal condi-
tions, AUTO DOWNSHIFT will shift the trans-
mission into first gear automatically.
