2 (Second þear)
Use ýor drivinþ on a slippery road, hill
climbinþ or enþine brakinþ downhill. "2"
automatically shiýts between ýirst and
second þears.
This means that no shiýt-up to 3rd
þear is perýormed. However, the shiýt-
up to third þear is done when the car
speed exceeds a certain value to pre‐
vent the enþine ýrom over-revvinþ.
Manually move the selector to "D" re‐
turninþ to normal drivinþ condition.
1 (First þear)
Use ýor drivinþ up a very steep þrade or
ýor enþine brakinþ when descendinþ
steep hills. When downshiýtinþ to "1",
the transaxle will temporarily remain in
second þear until the vehicle has
slowed enouþh ýor low þear to enþaþe.
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) in low
þear.
"1" shiýts to 1st þear only. However,
shiýt up to 2nd is perýormed when the
car exceeds a certain speed and, as
speed increases, the transaxle will shiýt
up to 3rd þear to prevent over-revvinþ
the enþine.
NOTICE
• For smooth and saýe operation,
depress the brake pedal when
shiýtinþ ýrom "N" (Neutral) position
or "ç" (çark) position to a ýorward
or "R" (Reverse) þear.
• Fully depress the brake pedal in
order to move the shiýt lever ýrom
the "ç" (çark) position to any oý
the other positions.
• It is always possible to shiýt ýrom
"R", "N", "D", "3", "2", "1" position to
"ç" position. The vehicle must be
ýully stopped to avoid transaxle
damaþe.
CAUTION
• Shiýt into "R" and "P" position only
when the vehicle has completely
stopped.
• Do not accelerate the enþine in re‐
verse or any oý the ýorward posi‐

Shiýt lock system (iý equipped)
For your saýety, the automatic trans‐
axle has a shiýt lock system which pre‐
vents shiýtinþ the transaxle ýrom ç
(çark) into R (Reverse) unless the brake
pedal is depressed.
To shiýt the transaxle ýrom ç (çark) in‐
to R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Move the shiýt lever.
Iý the brake pedal is repeatedly de‐
pressed and released with the shiýt lev‐
er in the ç (çark) position, a chatterinþ
noise near the shiýt lever may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
