When the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) function is in

action, you may feel the brake pedal pulsating and

hear a noise. In this situation, to let the Anti-lock

Brake System work for you, just hold the brake pedal

down more firmly. Do not pump the brake as this will

result in reduced braking performance.

To turn “ON” or “OFF” Depress the overdrive

switch to choose either 3-speed (“OFF”) or 4-speed

depressed to shift from “Park.”

Downshifting increases power going uphill, or

provides engine braking downhill. For best fuel

economy during normal driving conditions, always

drive with the shift lever in the “D” position.
