Vehicles
with
cruise
control-When
the
cruise
control
is being used, even if you
downshift
from
"0"
to
"3", engine
braking
will
not
be enabled
because
the
cruise
control
is
not
canceled.
For
ways
to
decrease
the
vehicle
speed,
see
"Cruise
control"
on page 108.
Lt.
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting
on
a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle
to
skid or
spin.
(d) Using
"3",
"2"
and
"L"
positions
(5-speed
models)
The
"3", "2" and "L"
positions
are
used
for
strong
engine
braking
as
described
pre-
viously.
With
the
selector
lever
in "3", "2"
or
"L",
you
can
start
the
vehicle
in
motion
as
with
the
lever
in
"0".
With
the
selector
lever
in "3" and "2",
the
vehicle
will
start
in
first
gear
and
automat-
ically
shift
to
third
or
second
gear.
With
the
selector
lever
in "L",
the
trans-
mission
is
engaged
in
first
gear.
