engine braking.
● When the vehicle is driven at high speeds, compared to ordinary gasoline-
fueled vehicles, the engine braki ng deceleration is felt less than that of other
vehicles.
● The vehicle can be accelerated even when shift position B is selected.
If the vehicle is driven continuously in the B position, fuel e fficiency will
become low. Usually, select the D position.
Remove the cover.
Remove the cover using flathead
screwdriver. To prevent damage to the
