OPERATION

Shifting

Switch to DM to use the vehicle in forward manoeuvre mode, and to RM to use the vehicle in rearward manoeuvre mode. Manoeuvre modes are not auxiliary shift modes, they may cause damage to the clutch by overheating the clutch when the vehicle is operated under load or on a slope for a long period of time. Initial Movement Downhill or Uphill • If the gear is shifted and brakes are released while the engine is operated • If the gear is shifted to D or DM and the vehicle is downhill, transmission closes the clutch slowly and vehicle starts to move slowly. • If the gear is shifted to R or RM and the vehicle is uphill, transmission closes the clutch slowly and vehicle starts to move backwards slowly. Driving Automatic Driving Mode Automatic transmission detects the road and load conditions and calculates and selects the appropriate gear according to the driver's pressing on the accelerator. When you think that the automatic transmission does not select

the appropriate gear, you may upshift or downshift by pushing / pulling the gear lever in the + / - direction.

level, transmission downshifts for higher power and allows the engine to reach a higher speed. This feature, called as “kick down”, helps the vehicle to accelerate while overtaking another vehicle or when power is required.

M shall be displayed on the screen temporarily if the gear is upshifted or downshifted with the gear lever. After some time, transmission shall return to automatic mode again, and D shall be displayed on the screen. On automatic drive mode (D), the transmission adjusts the shifting speed according to the pressing level on the accelerator. Shifts gear at low speeds for economy when the accelerator is pressed lightly, and shifts gear at high speeds for performance when the accelerator is pressed strongly When the accelerator is pressed fully, it finds another level that can be sensed with the foot, too. If you press beyond this

Using in Creep Mode Crawler mode allows the vehicle to automatically take-off slowly and move in idle without pressing the accelerator pedal. Crawler mode may operate at each gear allowed for take-off, unless the clutch is overloaded due to the vehicle load and the inclination of the road. You may change the gear manually before the vehicle starts to move, and thus you may set the idle movement speed as per the speed of the traffic. When the crawler mode is set to on, it is activated after the initial take-off only.
