Black plate (200,1)

Model "S35-D" EDITED: 2008/ 7/ 24

M6 (6th):

Use this position for all normal forward driving at
highway speeds.

M5 (5th):

Use this position when driving up long slopes, or
for engine braking when driving down long
slopes.

M4 (4th), M3 (3rd) and M2 (2nd):

Use for hill climbing or engine braking on
downhill grades.

M1 (1st):

Use this position when climbing steep hills
slowly or driving slowly through deep snow,
sand or mud, or for maximum engine braking on
steep downhill grades.

. Remember not to drive at high speeds for

extended periods of time in lower than M6
range. This reduces fuel economy.

. In the manual shift mode, the transmis-

sion may not shift to the selected
range. This helps maintain driving per-
formance and reduces the chance of
vehicle damage or loss of control.

. In the manual shift mode, the transmis-

sion automatically shifts down to 1st
gear before the vehicle comes to a

stop. When accelerating again, it is
necessary to shift up to the desired
range.

. When the CVT fluid temperature is extre-

mely low, the manual shift mode may not
work and automatically shift as a drive mode.
This is not a malfunction. In this case, return
the selector lever to the D position and drive
for a while and then shift to the manual shift
mode.

. When the CVT fluid temperature is high, the

shift range may upshift at a lower engine
speed than usual. This is not a malfunction.

Overdrive (O/D) OFF switch (if so
equipped)

When the O/D OFF switch is pushed with the
selector lever in the D (Drive) position, the
indicator light in the instrument panel illuminates.

Use the overdrive off mode when you need
improved engine braking.

To turn off the overdrive off mode, push the O/D
OFF switch again. The

indicator light will

turn off.

Each time the engine is started, or when the
selector lever is shifted to any position other
than the D (Drive) position, the overdrive off
mode will be automatically turned off.
