Your automatic transmission has a shift
lock system to minimize the possibility of
incorrect operation. This means you can
only shift out of “P” position when the
brake pedal is depressed (with the ignition
switch in “ON” position and the lock re-
lease button depressed).
(a) Normal Driving
1. Start the engine as instructed in “How
to start the engine” in Part 3. The trans-
mission must be in “P” or “N”.
2. With your foot holding down the brake
pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.
In “D” position, the automatic transmis-
sion system will select the most suitable
gear for running conditions such as nor-
mal cruising, hill climbing, hard towing,
etc.
Always turn the overdrive switch on for
better fuel economy and quieter driving. If
the engine coolant temperature is low, the
transmission will not shift the overdrive
gear even with the overdrive switch on.
Never put your foot in the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting.
CAUTION
!
3. Release the parking brake and brake
pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
(b) Using engine braking
To use engine braking, you can downshift
the transmission as follows:
Turn off the overdrive switch. The “O/D
OFF” indicator light will come on and
the transmission will downshift to the
third gear.
Shift into the “2” position. The trans-
mission will downshift to the second
gear when the vehicle speed drops
down to or lower than the maximum al-
lowable speed for second gear, and
more powerful engine braking will be
obtained.
Shift into the “L” position. The trans-
mission will downshift to the first gear
when the vehicle speed drops down to
or lower than the following speed, and
maximum engine braking will be ap-
plied.
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE SPEEDS
7A-FE engine
“2”.. 100 km/h (62 mph) . . . . . . . . . .
“L”.. 48 km/h (30 mph) . . . . . . . . . .
5S-FE engine
“2”.. . 102 km/h (63 mph) . . . . . . . . .
“L”.. 48 km/h (30 mph) . . . . . . . . . .
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to spin or
skid.
CAUTION
!
NOTICE
Be careful not to overrev the en-
gine. Watch the tachometer to
keep engine rpm from going into
the red zone. The approximate
maximum allowable speed for
each position is given above for
your reference.
Do not continue hill climbing or
hard towing for a long time in the
“2” or “L” position. This may
cause severe automatic transmis-
sion damage from overheating.
To prevent such damage, “D”
position should be used in hill
climbing or hard towing.
(c) Backing up
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal held down with
your foot, shift the selector lever to the “R”
position.
NOTICE
Never shift into reverse while the
vehicle is moving.
