(g) Good driving practice
If the transmission repeatedly shifts up and down between
the third and overdrive gears when climbing a gentle slope,
the overdrive should be turned off. Be sure to turn the switch
on immediately after climbing the slope.
When towing a trailer, in order to maintain efficient engine
braking and electrical charging performance, do not use
overdrive.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped
with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from
creeping.
NOTICE
Always use the brake pedal or the parking brake to hold
the vehicle on an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold the
vehicle using the accelerator pedal, as this can cause
the transmission to overheat.
(h) If you cannot shift the selector lever out
of “P” position
If you cannot shift the selector lever from “P” position even
though the brake pedal is depressed, use the shift lock override
button. For instructions, see “If you cannot shift automatic
transmission selector lever” on page 259.
(i) Driving in snow mode
31R048
In the snow mode, the transmission system shifts up from
the second gear.
