OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
78KS0-37E
Slippery road mode
When the “A/T POWER” switch is on with
shift in “3” (Low 2) position, the gear will be
fixed in second. Therefore, you can drive
smoothly on slippery road. If you keep
accelerating, the gear will be changed into
third.
NOTE:
• When you start driving with the gearshift
lever in “3” (Low 2) position while the “A/
T POWER” switch is on, the gear will be
automatically changed between second
and third. If you need to shift up, shift the
lever into “4” (Low 3) or “D” (Drive) posi-
tion.
• When the “A/T POWER” is on, if you
shift the gearshift lever into “3” (Low 2)
position, the gear will not downshift into
first when start driving.
Gearshift lever
66J056
The gearshift lever is designed that it can
not be shifted out of the “P” position unless
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position
and the brake pedal is depressed.
For all normal driving, make sure that the
“POWER” indicator light is off, then put the
gearshift lever into “D” (Drive). Use the
other gearshift lever positions as described
below:
P (Park)
Use this position to lock the transmission
when the vehicle is parked or when start-
ing the engine. Shift into Park only when
the vehicle is completely stationary.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to reverse the vehicle
from stop. Make sure that vehicle is com-
pletely stationary before shifting into
Reverse.
N (Neutral)
Use this position for starting the engine if
the engine stalls and you need to restart it
while the vehicle is moving. You may also
shift into Neutral and depress the brake
pedal to hold the vehicle stationary during
idling.
WARNING
Always depress the brake pedal
before shifting from “P” (Park) (or
“N” (Neutral) if the vehicle is station-
ary) to a forward or reverse gear, to
help prevent the vehicle from moving
unexpectedly when you shift.
EXAMPLE
WARNING
If you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle,
never leave the transfer switch in “N”
(Neutral) when parked.
Otherwise the vehicle may roll even if
the transmission is in Park.
