NOTICE - Kick down mecha-

nism (if equipped)

If your vehicle is equipped with a kick

down mechanism in the accelerator

pedal, it prevents you from driving at

full throttle unintentionally by making

the driver require increased effort to

depress the accelerator pedal. However,

if you depress the pedal more than

approximately 80%, the vehicle can be

at full throttle and the accelerator pedal

will be easier to depress. This is not a

malfunction but a normal condition.

speeds. (Steep accelerating and decel-

erating should be avoided.)
