OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
83RM0-01E
Starting off on an 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-
tion in the information display shows
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.
NOTE:
When you start the vehicle by the above
procedure, the hill hold control system may
not work. Refer to “Hill Hold Control Sys-
tem” in this section for details.
Starting off on a 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 indication.
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 pulling the “–” side shift paddle or by
placing the gearshift lever in the “M” posi-
tion, the manual mode is selected, and you
can shift to a lower gear manually. For
details of downshift operation, refer to
“Manual mode” or “Temporary manual
mode”.
Manual mode
When using the manual mode, you can
shift gears in the same manner as conven-
tional manual transaxle.
To use the manual mode, shift the gearshift
lever from “D” to “M”.

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, the warning
buzzer will sound, and in some cases
the engine will stall. This can also
shorten the life cycle of the clutch, or
cause excessive damage to the
clutch.
