o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at the
"ON" position for maximum economy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully de-
press the accelerator pedal. In this condi-
tion, the kickdown mechanism will be oper-
ated and the transmission will automatically
downshift according to the vehicle speed.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(Not all models)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking
or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-
trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-
trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,
in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS
will increase vehicle control during braking.
NOTE:
During ABS operation, a slight pulsation
may be felt in the brake pedal when the
brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be
heard in the engine compartment whilst brak-
ing. These conditions are normal and indi-
cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-
tioning properly.
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-
proper or dangerous driving manoeuvres.
Even though vehicle control is improved
during emergency braking, always maintain
a safe distance between you and objects
ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be
reduced during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped with
an anti-lock braking system may be longer
than for those without it in the following
road conditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an ABS
equipped vehicle should not be tested by
high speed driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself or others.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
You can send your engine power to all front and
rear wheels for maximum power. 4WD is useful
when you drive in snow, mud, ice, mountainous
or sandy areas where good traction is required,
or when your wheels lose traction using two-
wheel drive.
