Selector lever positions
E00603800615
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission
to prevent the
vehicle from moving. The engine can be started in
this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up. CAUTION
l
Never
shift into
the “P”
(PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is
in motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengaged. It is
the same as the neutral

position on a manual trans-
mission, and should be used when the vehicle is sta-
tionary for an extended length of time during driv-
ing, such as in a traffic jam. WARNING
l Never move the selector
lever
to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-
rious accident could occur since you
could accidentally move the selector lever
into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE)
position or you will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position. WARNING
l Always keep your right foot
on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position, or when shifting into or
out of “N” (NEUTRAL) position, to mini-
mize the risk of loss of control.
“D” DRIVE
This position is for normal

driving. The transmis-
sion automatically selects a suitable gear for your
speed and acceleration. CAUTION
l
Never shift into the
“D”
(DRIVE) posi-
tion from the “R” (REVERSE) position
while the vehicle is in motion to avoid
transmission damage.
“2” SECOND
This position is for extra

power when driving up
moderately steep hills, and for engine braking
when descending moderately steep gradients.
“L” LOW
This position is for driving up very steep hills and
for engine braking at low speeds when descending
steep gradients. WARNING
l This position can be used
for maximum
engine braking.
Be very careful not to shift into “L”
(LOW) position suddenly. Sudden engine
braking may cause the tyres to skid. To
avoid erroneous operation, move the selec-
tor lever firmly into each position and
briefly hold it there.
Select this position according to the road
conditions and vehicle speed.
NOTE l The A/T
has a control function

that prevents
over-revving. As a result, it may not perform
a shift when the selector lever is moved from
the “D” (DRIVE) position to the “2” (SEC-
OND) position or from the “2” (SECOND)
position to the “L” (LOW) position.
Overdrive control switch E00604000089
The overdrive control switch can be used while the
selector lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position.
During normal driving
Press the overdrive control switch

to turn the over-
drive function on. The transmission will shift auto-
matically among the 1 st
, 2 nd
, 3 rd
, and 4 th
gears, ena-
bling fuel-efficient, economical driving. Starting and driving

During hilly roads driving
Press the overdrive control switch
to turn the over-
drive function off. The transmission will shift auto-
matically among the 1 st
, 2 nd
, and 3 rd
gears, and
light engine braking will be available on downhill
roads. Overdrive OFF indication lamp
E00614600017
When the overdrive control switch is in the OFF po-
sition, the overdrive OFF indication

lamp in the me-
ter cluster comes on. When a malfunction occurs in the au-
tomatic transmission
E00615100019
When the selector lever position indicator blinks E00615200166
When the selector lever position indicator blinks
while you are driving, there

could be a malfunction
in the automatic transmission system.
or or CAUTION
l
If the selector lever
position
indicator
blinks while you are driving, it is likely
that a safety device is operating because
of a malfunction in the automatic trans-
mission. We recommend you to have
your vehicle inspected as soon as possible. CAUTION
l
The selector lever position indicator
warn-
ing function does not operate with the se-
lector lever in the “P” (PARK), “R” (RE-
VERSE) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
When the A/T (automatic transmission) fluid tem-
perature warning lamp comes on E00615300037
The automatic transmission fluid temperature warn-
ing lamp comes
on when

the automatic transmis-
sion fluid temperature becomes abnormally high
with the ignition switch “ON” position.
Normally the warning lamp comes on when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and
then will go out after a few seconds. Starting and driving

Shifting to rear-wheel drive or
4-wheel drive can
be made by operating the transfer shift lever (A).
Shift the transfer shift lever to an appropriate posi-
tion according to the road surface conditions. In ad-
dition, the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp in-
dicates the transfer shift lever shifting state. Refer
to “2WD/4WD operation indication lamp” on page
4-28.

: Remain offNOTE
l On vehicles with automatic
transmission,
when

the transfer shift lever is in “4L”, the
transmission will not shift into the overdrive
gear. CAUTION
l
The “4L” range gives
maximum
torque
for lowspeed driving on steep slopes, as
well as sandy, muddy, and other difficult
surfaces. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, do not exceed speeds of ap-
proximately 70 km/h (43 mph) in “4L”
range.
l Do not drive your vehicle in the “4H” or
“4L” on dry paved roads and highways.
Doing so may result in excessive tyre
wear, increased fuel consumption, and
possible noise generation. It may also in-
crease the differential oil temperature,
which may damage the drive system. Fur-
ther, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, resulting in oil leakage,
component seizure, or other serious prob-
lems. On dry paved roads and highways,
drive the vehicle in “2H” only. Starting and driving
