NOTICE
Always use the brake pedal or the
parking brake to hold the vehicle on
an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold
the vehicle using the accelerator ped-
al, as this can cause the transmission
to overheat.
(h) If you cannot shift the selector le-ver out of “P” position
If you cannot shift the selector lever from
the “P” position even though the brake
pedal is depressed, use the shift lock
override button. For instructions, see “If
you cannot shift automatic transmission
selector lever” on page 268 in Section 4.
TS17003a
The shift pattern is conventional as
shown above.
In case of driving your vehicle, the buzzer
will sound when you shift the gear into
“R” (reverse).
Press the clutch pedal down fully while
shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not
rest your foot on the pedal while driving,
because it will cause clutch trouble. Do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle
when stopped on an uphill grade–use the
parking brake. Upshifting too soon or downshifting too
late will cause lugging, and possibly ping-
ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi-
mum speed in each gear will cause ex-
cessive engine wear and high fuel
consumption.
Recommended shifting speeds
The transmission is fully synchronized and
upshifting or downshifting is easy.
For the best compromise between fuel
economy and vehicle performance, you
should upshift at the following speeds:
Acceleration
gear km/h (mph)
1 to 2 21 (13)
2 to 3 39 (24)
3 to 4 53 (33)
4 to 5 66 (41)
5 to 6 76 (47)
Cruise
gear km/h (mph)
1 to 2 13 (8)
2 to 3 23 (14)
3 to 4 40 (25)
4 to 5 55 (34)
5 to 6 66 (41)
