DOWN switch
WARNING
Do not use engine braking on slippery
road surfaces or at high speeds:
Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving
at high speeds causes sudden engine
braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. This could lead to
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Keep your hands on the steering wheel
rim when using fi ngers on the steering
shift switches:
Putting your hands inside the rim of the
steering wheel when using the steering
shift switches is dangerous. If the driver's
air bag were to deploy in a collision, your
hands could be impacted causing injury.
NOTE
     
When driving at high speeds, the gear
may not shift down.
     
During deceleration, the gear may
automatically shift down depending on
vehicle speed.
     
When depressing the accelerator fully,
the transaxle will shift to a lower gear,
depending on vehicle speed. However,
the gears do not kickdown while the
DSC is turned off.
Second Gear Fixed Mode
When the selector lever is moved back
while the vehicle speed is about 10 km/h
(6.2 mph) or less, the transaxle is set in the
second gear
fi
xed mode. The gear is
fi
xed
in second while in this mode for easier
acceleration from a stop and driving on
slippery roads such as snow-covered roads.
If the selector lever is moved back or
forward while in the second gear
fi
xed
mode, the mode will be canceled.
