164 STARTING AND DRIVING CAUTION! • Upward shifts do not take place automatically in Autostick. The driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with road conditions, make sure the engine rpm remains below the red zone on the tachometer. • By rapidly moving the selector lever backwards (DOWN) twice, it is possible to skip one gear, (i.e. 3rd to 1st or 4th to 2nd). Since sudden engine de-acceleration or acceleration can cause a loss of traction, downshifts must be made carefully in accordance with the vehicle's speed. NOTE 1. In Autostick, only the 4 forward gears can be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the "R" or "P" position in the main gate. 2. To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety, the system may not allow certain gear shifts when the selector lever is operated, such as 4th gear at low speed. I04S0170 + (UP) : Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear. - (DOWN) : Pull the lever backward once to shift down one gear.
