(f) Using the “3”, “2” and “L”, posi-tions
The “3”, “2” and “L” positions are used for
strong engine braking as described pre-
viously.
With the selector lever in “3”, “2” or
“SHIFT L” switch depressed, the vehicle
can start just as if the lever was in “D”.
With the selector lever in “3” or “2”, the
vehicle will start in first gear and automat-
ically shift to second gear.
With the “SHIFT L” switch depressed, the
transmission is engaged in first gear.NOTICE
 Be careful not to overrev the en-
gine. Watch the tachometer to keep
engine rpm from going into the red
zone. The approximate maximum al-
lowable speed for each position is
given above for your reference:
Twowheel drive models “3” 135 km/h (84 mph) . . . . . . .
“2” 90 km/h (56 mph) . . . . . . . .
“L” 50 km/h (31 mph) . . . . . . . .
Fourwheel drive models “2WD” or “4HI” mode“3” 135 km/h (84 mph) . . . . . . .
“2” 90 km/h (56 mph) . . . . . . . .
“L” 50 km/h (31 mph) . . . . . . . .
“4LO” mode “3” 50 km/h (31 mph) . . . . . . . .
“2” 35 km/h (21 mph) . . . . . . . .
“L” 20 km/h (12 mph) . . . . . . . .
 Do not continue hill climbing or
hard towing for a long time in the
“3”, “2” or “L” position. This may
cause severe automatic transmis-
sion damage from overheating. To
prevent such damage, “D” position
should be used in hill climbing or
hard towing.
(g) Backing up
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal held down with your foot, shift the selector lever to the
“R” position.
NOTICE

hicle is moving.
(h) Parking
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal pressed down, fully depress the parking brake pedal
to apply the parking brake securely.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down, shift the selector lever to the “P” posi-
tion.
CAUTION
Never attempt to move the selector
lever into “P” position under any cir-
cumstances while the vehicle is mov-
ing. Serious mechanical damage and
loss of vehicle control may result.

The garage door opener (\b
Universal Transceiver) is manufactured
under license from HomeLink\b and can
be programmed to operate garage
doors, gates, entry doors, door locks,
home lighting systems, and security
systems, etc.
(a) Programming the HomeLink
\b
The HomeLink\b in your vehicle has 3
buttons and you can store one program
for each button.
To ensure correct programming into the
HomeLink
\b, install a new battery in the
hand− held transmitter prior to program-
ming.
The battery side of the hand −held trans-
mitter must be pointed away from the
HomeLink
\b during the programming pro-
cess.
For Canadian users, follow the procedure
in “Programming an entrance gate/pro-
gramming all devices in the Canadian
market”.
1. Decide which of 3 HomeLink
\b buttons
you want to program. Push and hold
down one of the buttons until the indi-
cator corresponding to the selected
channel begins to flash.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each re-maining HomeLink\b button to program
another device.
Programming a rolling code system
If your device is “Rolling Code”
equipped, it is necessary to follow
steps 1 through 4 under the heading
“Programming the HomeLink
\b” before
proceeding with the steps listed below.
1. Locate the “training” button on the ceil- ing mounted garage door opener motor.

complete the programming process by
opening the garage door. The ceiling mounted garage door opener
motor should now recognize the
HomeLink
\b unit and be able activate the
garage door up/down.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each re- maining HomeLink
\b button to program
another rolling code system.

terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
During calibration, do not operate elec-
tric systems (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with
