( “R mode start function” page 5-32)
NOTE:
.
To prevent the clutch from overheating
when the parking brake is applied,
engine output is limited when the
accelerator pedal is depressed. In par-
ticular, the vehicle may not start
smoothly when the accelerator pedal
is depressed with the parking brake
applied on an uphill grade. To enable
smooth starting, release the parking
brake before moving the vehicle.
. The hill start assist function operates
when the vehicle is accelerating from a
stop on an uphill. (

Assist” page 5-38)
When driving the vehicle
WARNING
Do not move the shift lever to the & N
position while driving. Doing so may
result in an accident due to loss of
engine braking. It may also damage the
transmission.
Normal driving:
Drive with the shift lever in the
& A position.
The appropriate gear will be automatically
shifted according to the position of the accel-
erator pedal, the driving speed and driving
conditions.
Passing:
. & A position:
Fully depress the accelerator pedal to the floor.
This shifts the transmission down into a lower
gear depending on the vehicle speed. Then
depress the accelerator pedal as needed to
adjust vehicle speed.
. & M position:
Use the paddle shifter to down shift, then fully
depress the accelerator pedal to the floor. Then
depress the accelerator pedal as needed to
adjust vehicle speed.
Hill climbing:
. When the vehicle speed decreases, de-
press the accelerator pedal to the floor with
the shift lever in the
& A position. This
automatically shifts the transmission into a
lower gear and maintains this position
depending on the gradient of the hill.
. The system may down shift according to the
accelerator pedal position and the vehicle
speed.
. If the transmission is frequently changing
gears while driving, switch to the
& M position
and select the appropriate gear for the
driving conditions.
Driving on a downhill:
. & A position:
The system shifts down according to the degree
of downhills to increase the effectiveness of the
engine brake.
. & M position:
When driving on a long slope, selecting the & M
position and 4th or 3rd gear will provide gentle
engine braking.
When driving on a steep downhill, selecting the
& M position and 2nd or 1st gear will provide
powerful engine braking.
