N (Neutral)
Use this position for starting the engine if
the engine stalls and you need to restart it
while the vehicle is moving. You may also
shift into Neutral and depress the brake
pedal to hold the vehicle stationary during
idling.
D (Drive)
Use this position for all normal driving.
With the gearshift lever in "D" range you
can get an automatic downshift by pressing
the accelerator pedal. The higher the vehi-
cle speed is, the more you need to press
the accelerator pedal to get a downshift.
M (manual mode)
(models with manual mode)
Use this position for driving in the manual
mode. Refer to "Manual mode" later in this
section for details on how to use the man-
ual mode.
NOTE:
If you move the gearshift lever to a lower
gear while driving faster than the maximum
allowable speed for the lower gear, the
transmission will not actually downshift
until your speed drops below the maximum
speed for the lower gear.
CAUTION
If you cannot press the engine switch
firmly, the engine may not start.
Even if you shift the gearshift lever
into "R" or "D" position without the
engine running, the vehicle does not
move.
If you try to move your vehicle under
the above-mentioned condition, the
vehicle may move in unexpected
directions on a slope, etc. This may
cause an accident. When starting the
engine, press the engine switch
firmly. Also, make sure that the
engine is running by checking engine
sound or warning and indicator
lights.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTICE
• Do not shift the gearshift lever into
"R" while moving forward, or the
transmission may be damaged. If
you shift into "R" when the vehicle
speed is over 11 km/h, the trans-
mission will not shift into reverse.
• Be sure to take the following pre-
cautions to help avoid damage to
the automatic transmission:
– Make sure that the vehicle is
completely stationary before
shifting into "P" or "R".
– Do not shift from "P" or "N" to
"R", "D" or "M" when the engine
is running above idle speed.
– Do not rev the engine with the
transmission in a drive position
("R", "D" or "M") and the front
wheels not moving.
– Do not use the accelerator to
hold the vehicle on a hill. Use the
vehicle's brakes.
NOTE:
When you shift the gearshift lever into "P"
and stop the engine before depressing the
parking brake pedal, if you try to restart the
engine and shift the gearshift lever into the
position other than "P", it may reduce gear-
shift lever capability, or unusual sound and
shock may occur. However, this is not
abnormal.
