5-32 Switches and controls
In the manual shift mode, the gear is fixed at the
presently selected one even when the vehicle
speed changes. So you should change the gear
appropriately according to the vehicle speed.
• The gear shifts up by one gear each time you
move the gearshift lever to the “+” position.
• The gear shifts down by one gear each time you
move the gearshift lever to the “–” position.
• If the gearshift lever is moved to the “+” or “–”
position multiple times, the gear will change
upward or downward as long as the engine is
operating within the normal rpm range.
NOTE:
If the system judges that a manual upshift or down-
shift would put the engine speed out of the normal
rpm range, the gearshift does not take place. If the
gear does not change when you operate the gear-
shift lever, first adjust the vehicle speed using the
accelerator or brakes and then operate the gearshift
lever again.
Push the gearshift lever into the “A/M” position if
you want to change the gearshift mode from the
manual shift mode to the automatic shift mode.
7 Moving out of mud, snow or sand
CAUTION
Do not try to free a stuck vehicle for more than 5
minutes. Prolonged rocking motion will damage
the transmission, as the transmission oil
quickly heats up to a dangerous temperature.
WARNING
Be sure to check safety around the vehicle
before moving the vehicle by using fore-and-
aft rocking motion. Failure to do so could
result in an accident.
