1-2 2-3 3-4 4-5 C070D02O-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv- ing down a long hill, slow down andshift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-rev-ving the engine, which can causedamage.
o Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you muchbetter control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into re-verse. The transmission can be damaged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch, movethe shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position.
C070E03A-GAT RECOMMENDED SHIFT POINTS
Recommended 20 km/h (15 mph) 40 km/h (25 mph) 55 km/h (35 mph) 75 km/h (45 mph)
The shift points as shown above are recommended for optimum fuel economy and performance.
C070B01A-AAT Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, thenreleased slowly. The clutch pedal should always be used after fully re- turning to the original position. Do notrest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutchto hold the car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear. Use the parking brake to hold the car on anincline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
!
o During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transmis- sion lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to the transmission.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1stor R(Reverse), put the shift leverin N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down, and then shift into1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as thiscan result in premature wear of the transmission shift forks.
CAUTION:
When downshifting from fifth gearto fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadvertently press thegear shift lever sideways in such a manner that second gear is en- gaged. Such a drastic downshiftmay cause the engine speed to in- crease to the point that the tachom- eter will enter the red-zone. Suchover-revving of the engine may possibly cause engine damage.

C090B01HP-GAT The function of each position is as follows:
o P (Park): Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or while starting the engine. Whenever parking the car, apply theparking brake and shift the selector lever to the "P" (Park) position.
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the"P" (Park) position unless the ve- hicle is fully stopped.Failure to observe this caution will cause severe damage to the trans- mission. C090C01A-AAT
o R (Reverse): Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector lever to "R" posi-tion. C090D01HP-GAT
o N (Neutral): In the "N" position, the transmission is in neutral, which means that no gearsare engaged. The engine can be started with the shift lever in "N" position, although this is not recommended ex-cept if the engine stalls while the car is moving.
C090E01HP-GAT
o D (Drive): Use for normal driving. The transmis- sion will automatically shift through a four-gear sequence, giving besteconomy and power. Never down-shift manually to "2" position or "L" position when vehicle speed is more than 96km/h (60 mph).
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" positionwhile the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: Depress the brake pedal andpush the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can beshifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, acceler- ate gradually. The transmission will automatically shift to the second, thirdand overdrive gears.

C090F01A-AAT
o 2 (Second gear): Use for driving on slippery road hill climbing or engine braking downhill."2" automatically shifts between 1st and 2nd gears. This means that no shift-up to 3rd gearis performed. However, the shift-up to 3rd gear is done when the car speed exceeds a certain value to prevent theengine from over-running. Manually move the selector to "D" returning to normal driving condition.
C090G01HP-GAT
o L (Low gear): Use for driving up a very steep grade or for engine braking when descendingsteep hills. When downshifting to "L", the transmission will temporarily re- main in second gear until the vehiclehas slowed enough for low gear to engage. Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) in low gear."L" engages 1st gear only. However, shift-up to 2nd is performed when the vehicle exceeds a certain speed, andas the speed increases, shift-up to 3rd gear occurs to prevent over-running the engine. C090H02HP-DAT
CAUTION:
o P (Park): Use this range to park the vehicle. This range is also used when en- gine is started and warmed up.
o N (Neutral): The engine can be started in this range, but the use of "P" range isrecommended for safer start up. NOTE:
o For smooth operation, depress
the brake pedal when shifting from NEUTRAL or PARK to a for-ward or reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the
"ON" position and the brake pedalfully depressed in order to move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any of the other posi-tions.
o It is always possible to shift from
"R", "N", "D", "2", "L" positionsto "P" position. However, the vehicle must be fully stopped to avoid transmission damage.!
C090I01HP-GAT
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" position only when the vehicle has com- pletely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in
the reverse or any of the forwardpositions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N" to "R","D", "2" or "L" position.

C090J01HP-DAT OVERDRIVE SWITCH When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transmission will automatically upshift to the second, third and over- drive gears. When the overdrive switchis turned off, the transmission will not upshift to the overdrive gear at all. For normal driving, the selector levershould be left in the "D" position and the overdrive switch turned on. If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the accelerator pedal all the way to thefloor. The transmission will automati- cally shift to a lower gear, depending on the speed. NOTE: Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driving. If engine braking is neededin the "D" range or if repeated up- shifting and downshifting between the 3rd and 4th gear is needed whenclimbing a gentle slope, it is recom- mended that the overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the overdriveswitch back on immediately after- ward.
HHP3019
o Do not use the P(Park) position in
place of the parking brake. Alwaysset the parking brake, shift the transmission into P(Park) and turnoff the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even momentarily. Never leave the vehicle unattendedwhile the engine is running.
o When accelerating from a stop on
a steep hill, the vehicle may havea tendency to roll backwards. Shift- ing the shift lever into 2nd gear will help prevent the vehicle fromrolling backwards.
o Check the automatic transmission
fluid level regularly, and add fluidas necessary.

C090N04A-AAT Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelerator pedal de- pressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in mo-tion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This may be ex- tremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv- ing down a long hill, slow down andshift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear maynot be engaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transmis-sion in "P" to keep the car frommoving. o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-cially careful when braking, acceler-ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve- hicle speed can cause the drivewheels to lose traction and the ve- hicle to go out of control.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel economy and smooth driv-ing. If engine braking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshift-ing and downshifting between 3rd and 4th gear is needed when climb- ing a gentle slope, it is recommended that the overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the overdrive switch backon immediately afterward.
o Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the accel- erator pedal.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns. o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seat belt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull-ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim-
its.
o If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., then youmay attempt to rock the vehiclefree by moving it forward and back- ward. Do not attempt this proce- dure if people or objects are any-where near the vehicle. During the rocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move forward of back-ward as it becomes unstuck, caus- ing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.
