Overtaking
For extra power when passing another vehicle or climbing a hill, press the accelerator fully. The drive axle will shift to the next lower gear.
Climbing a steep slope from a stationary position
To climb a steep slope from a stationary position:
- 1. Press the brake pedal.
- 2. Shift to D, S or L, depending on the load being carried and the steepness of the slope.
- 3. Release all brakes, gradually pressing the accelerator.

Descending a steep slope
When descending a steep slope, shift to S or L, depending on the load being carried and the steepness of the slope. Descend slowly, using the brakes only occasionally to avoid overheating.
Hold mode
Hold mode cancels automatic gear shifting and has three positions: third (D), second (S) and first (L).
Using Hold
Use hold mode when starting off on slippery surfaces, when climbing a hill, and to assist the brakes when descending a hill.
1. Hold button
Press the Hold button to enable Hold mode. Press this button again to disable hold mode.
When the hold mode is on
D (move)
The drive axle is held in third gear. However, it automatically shifts to second when stopped and returns to third gear for smoother acceleration.
S (second gear)
The drive axle is held in second gear. Do not drive at speeds exceeding 108 km/h (68 miles per hour) in this position.
L (low speed)
The drive axle will be held in first gear. Do not drive at speeds exceeding 60 km/h (38 miles per hour) in this position.
