(g) Rocking your vehicle if stuck
CAUTION
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the ve-
hicle. During the rocking operation
the vehicle may suddenly move for-
ward or backward as it becomes un-
stuck, causing injury or damage to
nearby people or objects.
NOTICE
If you rock your vehicle, observe the
following precautions to prevent dam-age to the transmission and otherparts.
Do not depress the accelerator ped-
al while shifting the selector lever or before the transmission is com-
pletely shifted to forward or reversegear.
Do not race the engine and avoidspinning the wheels.
If your vehicle remains stuck after
rocking the vehicle several times,consider other ways such as tow-ing.
(h) Driving in manual mode
In the manual mode, the transmission sys-
tem stops automatic gear shifting. Use
this mode when starting your vehicle on
a snowy or slippery road, when driving up
steep inclines, and down with engine brak-
ing.
To set the manual mode, push the
ºMANUº button. In the manual mode, the
ºMANUº mode indicator light comes on
and the transmission shifts up or down as
follows.
ºDº positionÐThe transmission is locked
in third gear.
When your vehicle speed drops down, the
transmission will shift to second gear for
smooth accelerating.
º2º positionÐThe transmission is locked in
second gear.
ºLº positionÐThe transmission is locked in
first gear.
NOTICE
Be careful not to overrev the engine
when using º2º or ºLº position.
If the automatic transmission fluid temper-
ature becomes too high, the ºMANUº
mode indicator light flashes for several
seconds and goes off. The driving mode
then automatically changes from manual
mode to the normal driving mode.
To cancel the manual mode, push the
ºMANUº button once again. The ºMANUº
mode indicator light will go off and the
transmission system will work in the nor-
mal driving mode.
The manual mode automatically cancels
out when the ignition switch is off.
(i) If you cannot shift the selector le- ver out of ºPº position
If you cannot shift the selector lever from
the ºPº position even though the brake
pedal is depressed, use the shift lock
override button. For instructions, see ºIf
you cannot shift automatic transmission
selector leverº in Part 4.

RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
your radio Ðit is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle. For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals
have a limited range, and the farther you
are from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a prob-
lem with your radio: FM
Fading and drifting stationsÐGenerally, the
effective range of FM is about 40 km (25
miles). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by distor-
tion.
Multi- pathÐFM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each oth-
er out, causing a momentary flutter or
loss of reception.
Static and flutteringÐThese occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
