Recommendations for shifting

Upshifting

For normal acceleration and cruising, we

recommend these shift points.

Gear Vehicle speed

M1 to M2 24 km/h (15 mph)

M2 to M3 40 km/h (25 mph)

M3 to M4 65 km/h (40 mph)

M4 to M5 73 km/h (45 mph)

Downshifting

When you must slow down in heavy

traffic or on a steep upgrade, downshift

before the engine starts to overwork. This

gives better acceleration when you need

more speed.

On a steep downgrade, downshifting

helps maintain safe speed and prolongs

brake life.

qDriving Tips

WARNING

Do not allow the vehicle to move in

reverse on an up-slope while the

selector lever is in a forward gear

position, or move forward on a down-

slope while the selector lever is in the

reverse position.

Otherwise, the engine will stop,

causing the loss of the power brake

and power steering functions, and

make it difficult to control the vehicle

which could result in an accident.

Passing

For extra power when passing another

vehicle or climbing steep grades, depress

the accelerator fully. The transaxle will

shift to a lower gear, depending on vehicle

speed.

Climbing steep grades from a stop

To climb a steep grade from a stopped

position:

1. Depre ss the brake pedal.

2. Shift to D or M1, depending on the

load weight and grade steepness.

3. Release the brake pedal while

gradually accelerating.

Descending steep grades

When descending a steep grade, shift to

lower gears, depending on load weight

and grade steepness. Descend slowly,

using the brakes only occasionally to

prevent them from overheating.
