Starting off on an uphill/downhill:
CAUTION
The hill hold control system will not
activate while the parking brake is
engaged.
Uphill
1) Apply the parking brake firmly so that
the vehicle does not roll backwards.
2) Shift the gearshift lever to the "D" posi-
tion while depressing the brake pedal.
Make sure that the gear position indica-
tor in the instrumental cluster displays
1st gear.
3) Release the brake pedal and depress
the accelerator pedal gradually, and
when the vehicle starts to move,
release the parking brake and depress
the accelerator pedal to start off.
NOTICE
On an uphill slope, never hold the
vehicle at a stop using only the accel-
erator pedal or the creeping function.
If you perform this operation for a
certain period of time, a warning
buzzer will sound, and in some cases
the engine will stall. This can also
cause excessive damage to the
clutch.
Downhill
1) Depress the brake pedal and shift the
gearshift lever to the "D" position. Make
sure that the gear is in 1st by checking
the gear position indicator.
2) Release the brake pedal and depress
the accelerator pedal slowly. Even if the
accelerator pedal is not depressed, the
clutch will be engaged when the vehicle
speed increases.
Using engine braking:
When driving on a downhill slope, down-
shifting is recommended. So you can use
engine braking.
By placing the gearshift lever in the "M"
position, the Manual (M) mode is selected,
and you can shift to a lower gear manually.
For details of downshift operation, refer to
"Upshift and downshift" in the "Manual (M)
mode".
Manual (M) mode
The gears are not shifted automatically. To
shift the transmission, the driver must
operate the gearshift lever to the "+" or "–"
direction.
NOTE:When the vehicle is slowed down in
Manual mode the gears are shifted down
automatically only when the engine speed
is very low.
As for conventional manual transmission
vehicles, releasing the accelerator pedal a
little may help the transmission to shift
smoothly.
