CAUTION
l
Do not pull up the pull-ring (A) when mov-
ing the gearshift lever to any position oth-
er than the “R” (Reverse) position. If you
always pulled up the pull-ring (A) when
moving the gearshift lever, you could un-
intentionally move the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position and cause an
accident and/or a transmission fault.
The pull-ring will return to its original position
when
you return the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neu-
tral) position. CAUTION
l
If
the pull-ring will not return from the
pulled-up position, we recommend you to
have the vehicle inspected.
Changing gears E00610600022
Always take care to change the gear with the vehi-
cle

speed matched to the engine speed. Proper shift-
ing will improve fuel economy and prolong engine
life.
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this may
cause excessive engine speed (the tachometer nee-
dle into the red zone) and damage the engine.

CAUTION
l
By rapidly moving the selector lever back-
wards (SHIFT DOWN) twice, it is possi-
ble to skip one gear, i.e., 3 rd
to 1 st
or 4 th
to
2 nd
. Since sudden engine braking and/or
rapid acceleration can cause a loss of trac-
tion, however, downshifts must be made
carefully in accordance with the vehicle’s
speed.
NOTE l In

sports mode, only the 4 forward gears can
be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the selector lever to the “R” (RE-
VERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as required.
l To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up-
shift when the selector lever is moved to the
“+” (SHIFT UP) position at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the
engine, the transmission may refuse to per-
form a downshift when the lever is moved to
the “-” (SHIFT DOWN) position at certain
vehicle speeds.
l In sports mode, downward shifts are made au-
tomatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1 st
gear is automati-
cally selected. l
When
driving away on a slippery road, push
the selector lever forward into the “+”
(SHIFT UP) position. This causes the trans-
mission to shift into the 2 nd
gear which is bet-
ter for smooth driving away on a slippery
road. Push the selector lever to the “-”
(SHIFT DOWN) side to shift back to the 1 st
gear.
l Move the selector lever gently between the
manual and main gates and between posi-
tions in the manual gate. Undue force could
damage the selector lever.
Sports mode indication lamp E00612300010
In sports mode, the currently selected position is in-
dicated on the instrument panel. NOTE
l When

sports mode is selected, the “D” indi-
cation lamp goes off. Operation of the A/T
E00604200065 CAUTION
l
Before
selecting a gear with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary, fully
depress the brake pedal to prevent the ve-
hicle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as
the gear is engaged, especially when the
engine speed is high, at fast idle or with
the air conditioning operating, the brakes
should only be released when you are
ready to drive away.
l Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot at all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
l To prevent sudden acceleration, never
race the engine when shifting from the
“P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal
will affect braking efficiency and may
cause premature wear of brake pads.
Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed.
This can damage the transmission.
Also, when the vehicle is stationary, the
engine revolutions may not rise to the
same revolutions as measured in normal
starting even if the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed while the brake pedal is being
pressed. Starting and driving

Braking
E00607001641
All
the parts of the brake system are critical to safe-
ty. We recommend you to have the vehicle
checked at regular intervals according to the serv-
ice booklet. CAUTION
l
Avoid
driving habits that cause heavy
braking and never “ride” the brakes by
resting your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
The
service brake is divided into two brake cir-
cuits. And your vehicle is equipped with power
brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the other is availa-
ble to stop the vehicle. If you should lose the pow-
er assist for some reason, the brakes will still work.
In these situations, even if the brake pedal moves
down to the very end of its possible stroke or re-
sists being depressed, keep depressing the brake ped-
al down harder and further than usual; stop driving
as soon as possible and have the brake system re-
paired. WARNING
l Do
not turn off the engine while your ve-
hicle is in motion. If you turn off the en-
gine while driving, the power assistance
for the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively. WARNING
l If
the power assist is lost or if either
brake hydraulic system stops working
properly, have your vehicle checked im-
mediately.
Warning lamp
The
brake warning lamp illuminates to indicate a
fault in the braking system. Read “Brake warning
lamp” on page 3-06.
When brakes are wet
Check the brake system while driving at a low
speed immediately after starting, especially when
the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake discs
and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy
rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is
washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driv-
ing slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
When driving downhill
It is important to take advantage of the engine brak-
ing by shifting to a lower shift position while driv-
ing on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the
brakes from overheating. WARNING
l Do
not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; do-
ing so could prevent the full pedal stroke
that would be necessary in an emergency.
Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure the floor
mat is securely held in place.
Brake pads l Avoid hard braking situations.
New

brakes need to be broken-in by moder-
ate use for the first 200 km (124 mph).
l The disc brakes are provided with a warning
device which emits a shrieking metallic
sound while braking if the brake pads have
reached their wear limit.
If you hear this sound, have the brake pads re-
placed immediately. WARNING
l Driving
with worn brake pads will make
it harder to stop, and can cause an acci-
dent. Starting and driving

CAUTION
l
If continuous brake control (on a slippery
surface, for example) causes the tempera-
ture of the braking system to increase ex-
cessively, the traction control function
(working by controlling the brake on
each wheel) will be suspended to protect
the braking system. [The traction control
function (working by controlling the en-
gine output) will operate. Normal opera-
tion of the vehicle will not be affected.] At
this time, the indication lamp will
blink

to inform the driver that the trac-
tion control function (working by control-
ling the brake on each wheel) is suspen-
ded. If the vehicle is stopped and the indication lamp goes off, the traction con-
trol

function (working by controlling the
brake on each wheel) will start operating
again.
l If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels
raised off the ground, the traction control
function may operate, resulting in an acci-
dent. When towing the vehicle with the
front wheels raised, keep the ignition
switch in the “LOCK” or “ACC” posi-
tion. When towing the vehicle with the
rear wheels raised, keep the ignition
switch in the “ACC” position.
Refer to “Towing” on page 6-14. Auto-speed (cruise) control*
E00609100900
Auto-speed

control is an automatic speed control
system. It lets you keep the same driving speed, auto-
speed control can be used at about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more. It is especially useful for high-
way driving. Auto-speed control does not work at
speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph). A- Main switch
B-
Auto-speed control lever CAUTION
l
For
safety reasons, deactivate auto-speed
control system using the main switch (A)
when you are not using the auto-speed con-
trol system.
(Refer to “To deactivate” on page 4-28.)
l Auto-speed control is not recommended
when driving conditions will not allow
you to stay at the same speed, such as in
heavy traffic or on roads that are wind-
ing, icy, snow-covered, wet, or slippery,
or on a steep downhill. Starting and driving
