. Before going down a steep hill, slow
down and shift into lower gear (if neces-
sary, use 1st gear) in order to utilize the
engine braking effect and prevent over-
heating of your vehicle’s brakes. Do not
make sudden downshifts.
. When driving uphill in hot weather, the
air conditioner may turn off automatically
to protect the engine from overheating.
. When driving uphill in hot weather,
because the engine and transmission are
relatively prone to overheating, pay atten-
tion to the following items.
– Engine coolant temperature gauge
– AT OIL TEMP warning light
. If any of the following conditions occur,
immediately turn off the air conditioner and
stop the vehicle in the nearest safe
location. Refer to “If You Park Your Vehicle
in an Emergency” �P478 and “Engine
Overheating” �P490.
– Engine coolant temperature gauge
needle approaches the OVERHEAT
zone. Refer to “Engine Coolant Tem-
perature Gauge” �P177.

nates. Refer to “AT OIL TEMP Warning
Light” �P185.
. Do not use the accelerator pedal to stay
stationary on an uphill slope instead of
using the parking brake or foot brake. That
may cause the transmission fluid to over-
heat.
