lock  
“LOCK”—Engine is off and the steering  
wheel is locked. The key can be re-  
moved only at this position.  
You must push in the key to turn the key  
from “ACC” to the “LOCK” position. On  
vehicles with an automatic transmission,  
the selector lever must be in the “P” posi-  
tion before pushing the key.  
When starting the engine, the key may  
seem stuck at the “LOCK” position. To  
free it, first be sure the key is pushed all  
the way in, and then rock the steering  
wheel slightly while turning the key gently.  
“START”—Starter motor on. The key  
will return to the “ON” position when  
released.  
CAUTION  
For manual transmission:  
For starting tips, see Section 3.  
Never remove the key when the ve-  
hicle is moving, as this will lock the  
steering wheel and result in loss of  
steering control.  
“ON”—Engine on and all accessories  
on.  
This is the normal driving position.  
“ACC”—Accessories such as the radio  
operate, but the engine is off.  
NOTICE  
If you leave the key in the “ACC” or  
“LOCK” position and open the driver’s  
door, a buzzer will remind you to remove  
the key.  
Do not leave the key in the “ON”  
position if the engine is not running.  
The battery will discharge and the  
ignition could be damaged.

cruise control is not cancelled.  
(d) Using engine braking  
To use engine braking, you can downshift  
the transmission as follows:  
For ways to decrease the vehicle speed,  
see “Cruise control” in this Section.  
D Push the overdrive switch. The “O/D  
OFF” indicator light will come on and  
the transmission will downshift to third  
gear.  
(c) Normal driving  
1. Start the engine as instructed in “How  
to start the engine” in Section 3. The  
transmission must be in “P” or “N”.  
D Shift into the “2” position. The trans-  
mission will downshift to second gear  
when the vehicle speed drops down to  
or lower than 101 km/h (63 mph), and  
stronger engine braking will be en-  
abled.  
2. With your foot holding down the brake  
pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.  
(b) Overdrive switch  
You can select either third gear (with  
overdrive off) or fourth gear (with over-  
drive on) by pushing this switch.  
When the lever is in the “D” position, the  
automatic transmission system will select  
the most suitable gear for running condi-  
tions such as normal cruising, hill climb-  
ing, hard towing, etc.  
D Shift into the “L” position. The trans-  
mission will downshift to first gear  
when the vehicle speed drops down to  
or lower than 50 km/h (31 mph), and  
maximum engine braking will be en-  
abled.  
To turn the overdrive off, push the switch.  
The “O/D OFF” indicator light should come  
on. To turn the overdrive on again, push  
the switch again. The “O/D OFF” indicator  
light should go off.  
Always turn the overdrive on for better  
fuel economy and quieter driving. If the  
engine coolant temperature is low, the  
transmission will not shift into the over-  
drive gear even with the overdrive on.  
Vehicles with cruise control—When the  
cruise control is being used, even if you  
downshift the transmission by pushing and  
releasing the overdrive switch, engine  
braking will not be enabled because the

(e) Using engine braking  
For the best compromise between fuel  
economy and vehicle performance, you  
should upshift or downshift at approxi-  
mately the following speeds:  
Put the selector lever in the “D” position  
and drive for a short time.  
To use engine braking, you can downshift  
the transmission as follows:  
If the M mode indicator light stops flash-  
ing but remains on after the selector lever  
is returned to the “M” position, you can  
drive in M mode.  
D When you are driving in the “D” posi-  
tion, push the overdrive switch. The  
“O/D OFF” indicator light will come on  
and the transmission will downshift to  
third gear, and engine braking will be  
obtained. When you are driving in  
fourth gear (“M” position), push the  
transmission downshift switch to select  
the “3” position. The transmission will  
downshift to third gear and engine  
braking will be obtained.

as soon as possible.  
Downshift to the appropriate gear if accel-  
eration is needed when you are cruising  
below the above downshifting speeds.  
Upshifting too soon or downshifting too  
late will cause lugging, and possibly ping-  
ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi-  
mum speed in each gear will cause ex-  
cessive engine wear and high fuel  
consumption.  
The M mode indicator light flashes under  
the following conditions:  
D Shift the selector lever into the “2”  
position or push the transmission shift  
switch to the “2” position in M mode.  
The transmission will downshift to sec-  
ond gear when the vehicle speed drops  
down to or lower than 115 km/h (71  
mph), and stronger engine braking will  
be enabled.  
D The temperature of the automatic trans-  
mission oil is low. The transmission  
works exactly in the same way as  
when you put the selector lever in the  
“D” position.  
NOTICE

Always keep your foot on the brake  
pedal while stopped with the engine  
running. This prevents the vehicle  
from creeping.  
Press the clutch pedal down fully while  
shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not  
rest your foot on the pedal while driving,  
because it will cause clutch trouble. And  
do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle  
when stopped on an uphill grade—use the  
parking brake.
