7-18 Starting and operating

matic transmission fluid temperature is

very low, for example, during driving

shortly after the vehicle has been

parked for an extended period of time.

When the ATF temperature has risen to

a certain level, automatic downshift

normally takes place. In the meantime,

downshift manually for engine braking

as required.

Also, downshifting when braking

downhill will not occur at speeds above

approximately 48 mph (78 km/h).

! 3 (Third)

This position is for using engine braking

when going down a hill or for climbing a

grade.

The transmission automatically shifts into

a suitable gear from 1st to 3rd according

to the vehicle speed and the acceleration

you require.

When more acceleration is required in this

position, press the accelerator pedal fully

to the floor and hold that position. The

transmission will automatically downshift

to 2nd or 1st gear. When you release the

pedal, the transmission will return to the

original gear position.

! 2 (Second)

This position is for using engine braking

when going down a hill or for climbing a

steep grade.

In this position, the transmission holds in

the 2nd gear.

Use this position when starting off from a

standstill on slippery road surfaces such

as mud or snow. It will ensure greater

traction.

! 1 (First)

This position is for driving up or down very

steep grades, or driving through mud or

sand, or on slippery surfaces. In this

position, the transmission holds in the

1st gear.

! Maximum speeds

The following table shows the maximum

speeds that are possible with each differ-

ent gear.

When shifting down a gear, it is important

to confirm that the current vehicle speed is

not in excess of the Maximum Allowable

Speed of the gear which is about to be

selected.

mph (km/h)

Non-turbo models Turbo models

1 28 (45) 28 (45)

2 62 (100) 65 (104)

3 97 (156) 104 (167)

NOTE

In order to prevent over-revving during

deceleration of the vehicle, the trans-

mission will remain in the current gear

if the speed of the vehicle is in excess

of the Maximum Allowable Speed for

the gear to which the selector lever has

been moved.

WARNING

When shifting down a gear, ensure

that the vehicle is not travelling at a

speed exceeding the Maximum Al-

lowable Speed for the gear which is

about to be selected. Failure to

observe this precaution can lead to

engine over-revving and this in turn

can result in engine damage.

In addition, sudden application of

engine brakes when the vehicle is

travelling on a slippery surface can

lead to wheel locking; as a conse-

quence, control of the vehicle may

be lost and the risk of an accident

increased.

! Driving tips

. Always apply the foot or parking brake

when the vehicle is stopped in the “D”, “3”,

“2”, “1” or “R” position.
