5-33
Move the gearshift lever between the “D” and “N”
positions to rock the vehicle and thereby get it out of
the mud, snow, or sand.
8 Short stops
CAUTION
On an uphill road, avoid stopping the vehicle by
only using the accelerator pedal, as this could
cause slipping or a broken clutch. Always use
the brake pedal to stop the vehicle on an uphill
road.
When you stop the vehicle to wait at signals or in a
traffic jam, the clutch automatically disengages as
the vehicle slows down and an automatic gear
change takes place as follows:
• When driving in the automatic shift mode, the
2nd gear will be automatically engaged. On
uphill roads, the 1st gear may be engaged
depending on the steepness of the slope and
the vehicle loading.
• When driving in the manual shift mode, the 2nd
gear will be automatically engaged if 3rd or
higher gear was selected before stopping. On
uphill roads, the 1st gear may be engaged
depending on the steepness of the slope and
the vehicle loading.
• Keep the brake pedal fully depressed while
stopped.
• In the case of a prolonged stop, you can release
the brake pedal after engaging the parking
brake and placing the gearshift lever in the “P”
position.
WARNING
Never race the engine when the vehicle is
stopped. If the gearshift lever happens to
have been placed in any position other than
“P” or “N”, the vehicle will suddenly lurch
and could cause a serious accident.
