Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
an automatic transmission
It is recommended the “2” (SECOND) position
(4A/T ) or 2nd
gear in sports mode ( 5A/T) on slopes
or at low speed. Use the “L” (LOW) position
(4A/T ) or 1st
gear in sports mode ( 5A/T) in moun-
tainous areas in order to make better use of engine
braking and to assist the brake system. However,
be sure that the speed does not exceed the maxi-
mum speed limit for the selected gear.
