- Use a low gear when driving up or down steep hills to maintain control.
Reversing
- Use 'R - Reverse' gear when reversing the vehicle.
Ignition Switch
- The ignition switch is in the "lock" position when the steering is locked and the ignition is off.
Automatic Transmission

Gearshift Lever
- The gearshift lever is used to control the vehicle's transmission, allowing the driver to select gears.
