(h) Good driving practice
D If the transmission repeatedly shifts up
and down between fourth gear and
overdrive when climbing a gentle slope,
the overdrive switch should be turned
off. Be sure to turn the switch on im-
mediately afterward.
D When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, 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 ped-
al, as this can cause the transmission
to overheat.
(i) Driving in snow mode
Use this mode when starting your vehicle
in ice or snow.
To set the driving pattern to the snow
mode, push the switch. The “ECT SNOW”
indicator on the instrument cluster is on.
To cancel the snow mode, push the switch
again.
If the engine is turned off with the snow
mode is on, the snow mode is cancelled
when the engine is restarted.
(j) If you cannot shift the selector le-
ver out of “P” position
If you cannot shift the selector lever from
the “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 354 in Section 4.
