*NOTE: You may not accelerate to the maximum allowable speed because of the driving sit­uation and/or the vehicle condition.
NOTICE
Do not downshift to a lower gear at the speed faster than the maximum allowable speeds for the next lower speed) or severe damage to engine and transmission can result.
A WARNING
• Reduce your speed and downshift to a lower gear before going down a long or steep hill. A lower gear will allow the engine to provide braking. Avoid riding the brakes or they may overheat, resulting in brake failure. When driving on slippery roads, slow down before downshifting. Excessive and/or sudden changes in engine speed may cause loss of traction, which could cause you to lose control.
NOTICE
Check that the vehicle is completely stationary before you shift into reverse.
NOTICE
To help avoid clutch damage, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot­rest while driving or use the clutch to keep the vehicle stationary on a slope. Depress the clutch fully when shifting. • When shifting or starting off, do not race the engine. Racing the engine can shorten engine life and cause negative effect to smooth shifting.

The gearshift lever is designed so that it cannot be shifted out of "P" position unless the ignition switch is in "ON" position and the brake pedal is depressed.
Use the gearshift lever positions as fol­lows:
P (Park) Use this position to lock the transmission when the vehicle is parked or when start­ing the engine. Shift into Park only when the vehicle is completely stationary.
R (Reverse) Use this position to reverse the vehicle from stop. Make sure that vehicle is corn-
pletely stationary before shifting into Reverse.
N (Neutral) Use this position for starting the engine if the engine stalls and you need to restart it while the vehicle is moving. You may also shift into Neutral and depress the brake pedal to hold the vehicle stationary during
idling.
D (Drive) Use this position for all normal driving.
With the gearshift lever in "D" range you ?an get an automatic downshift by press­ing the accelerator pedal. The higher the vehicle speed is, the more you need to press the accelerator pedal to get a down­shift.
2 (Low2) Use this position to provide extra power when climbing hills, or to provide engine braking when going down hills.
L (Low 1) Use this position to provide maximum power when climbing steep hills or driving through deep snow or mud, or to provide maximum engine braking when going down steep hills.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A, WARNING
Always depress the brake pedal before shifting from "P" (Park) (or "N" (Neutral) if the vehicle is station­ary) to a forward or reverse gear, to help prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly when you shift.

The electronic control system monitors driving condition (such as vehicle speed and/or engine revolution), and it shows which gear position is optimal for your driv­ing with the indication on the display.
If UP/DOWN arrow is indicated in the dis­play while driving, we recommend you to shift up or down the gear. It is the optimal gear position for a driving condition that reduces the over revolution and stress to the engine, and improves fuel consump­tion.
For details on how to use the transmission, refer to "Using the transmission" in this sec­tion.
A WARNING
The gearshift indicator is designed to indicate optimal gear position for your driving, however, a driver will not be relieved from the duty of care of driving operation or gear change with this indicator. To drive safe, do not gaze the gear­shift indicator, pay attention to your driving situation and shift up or down if necessary.
NOTE: The gearshift indicator is not indicated when the gear position is in "N" (Neu­tral). If you depress the clutch pedal while UPI DOWN arrow is indicated, the indication will disappear. In ordinary driving, UP arrow will disap­pear when you release your foot from the accelerator pedal. The indication of gearshift indicator tim­ing may differ depending on the vehicle condition and/or driving situation even in the same vehicle speed and engine rev­
olution. If any of the electrical systems such as dual sensor brake support system, or ESP" system is working, the gearshift indicator will disappear temporarily.
