STARTING AND DRIVING Vehicle with the dynamic laser cruise control - When the cruise control is being used in the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode or in the vehicle−to−vehicle distance control mode, even if you downshift from "D" to "4", engine braking will not be enabled because the cruise control is not cancelled. For vehicle speed reduction, see pages 427 and 436. 2 CAUTION Be careful when downshifting on a slippery surface. The abrupt change in engine speed could cause the vehicle to skid or spin. Shift into the "3" position. The transmission will downshift to third gear when the vehicle speed is or becomes lower than 129 km/h (81 mph) and stronger engine braking will be enabled. Shift into the "2" position. The transmission will downshift to second gear when the vehicle speed is or becomes lower than 83 km/h (52 mph) and more powerful engine braking than that of "3" position will be enabled. Shift into the "L" position. The transmission will downshift to first gear when the vehicle speed is or becomes lower than 39 km/h (24 mph) and maximum engine braking will be enabled. 3 4 393
