TIPS FOR DRIVING ON SLOPE
(1) Set the main shift lever in the
low speed position on a slope
to prevent the engine from stop-
ping.
(2) Keep the driving speed low on a
downhill road.
►
When the needle on the coolant
temperature gauge is pointing
at 'H,' the engine is overheated.
If running the engine under
this condition continuously, the
engine parts can be severely
damaged. Make sure to take an
appropriate action immediately.
