Kickdown Function
If you need to accelerate rapidly, depress the accelerator
pedal completely to the floor. Then, a one- or two-lever
gear will automatically be engaged. This is called the
Kickdown function.
• When driving on a down hill, never shift the selector le-
ver to
“N”
. If you try to shift the lever to
“D”
from
“N”
,
a sudden gear engagement can damage the driving
train.
• Even though your can start the engine with the selector
lever in both
“P”
or
“N”
, for your safety, always start
the engine with the selector lever in
“P”
.
• To avoid any mechanical damages or accidents, never
shift into
“P”
or
“N”
while the vehicle is in motion.
CAUTION
• As a safety function, the gear selector lever cannot be
moved into the
“P”
or
“R”
position when the vehicle
speed exceeds 7 ~ 10 km/h.
• Never shift into
“R”
when the vehicle is moving.
• When driving at a high speed, any sudden attempt to
shift from a higher to a lower gear can severely dam-
age the vehicle. In addition, your vehicle may lose its
stability and be at a high risk.
Engine Brake
When the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle
is in motion, the engine speed decreases. This de-
creased engine speed creates an extra braking force. On
a down hill, engaging a lower gear can generate a slower
engine speed and eventually slow down the vehicle
speed. By using this engine brake, you can decrease your
vehicle speed without excessively using the brake
system. The lower gear, the more braking force.
• Do not use the kickdown operation while driving on slippery or
sharply curved roads.
• If you use the kickdown function too frequently, the durability and
fuel economy of the vehicle will get worse.
• Do not excessively apply the brake pedal while going down a long
hill. The brake system will overheat, experience vapor lock or the
fade phenomenon, and lose the braking force.
CAUTION
• Extended use of the brake pedal on a downward hill without
using the engine brake may significantly reduce the braking ef-
fect of your vehicle due to the “vapor lock” or “fade” phenomenon.
• Be aware that the engine brake does not work when the gear
selector lever is in the
“N”
position.
• Avoid any abrupt engine braking on slippery roads, or the tires
may slip.
