(OM34426U) ’04 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0309) CAUTION NOTICE Manual transmission Always use the brake pedal or the parking brake to hold the vehicle on an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold the vehicle using the accelerator ped- al, as this can cause the transmission to overheat. Never attempt to move the selector lever into “P” position under any cir- cumstances while the vehicle is mov- ing. Serious mechanical damage and loss of vehicle control may result. (h) Good driving practice D If the transmission repeatedly shifts up and down between third gear and over- drive when climbing a gentle slope, the overdrive should be turned off. Be sure to turn the switch on immediately after- ward. D When towing a trailer, in order to main- tain engine braking efficiency, do not use overdrive. CAUTION Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping. The shift pattern is as shown above. Press the clutch pedal down fully while shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not rest your foot on the pedal while driving, because it will cause clutch trouble. And do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopped on an uphill grade—use the parking brake. 169 2004 TUNDRA from Sep. ’03 Prod. (OM34426U) ’04 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0309) Recommended shifting speeds The transmission is fully synchronized and upshifting or downshifting is easy. For fuel economy and vehicle performance, you should upshift or downshift at the following speeds: the best compromise between Maximum allowable speeds To get on a highway or to pass slower traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec- essary. Make sure you observe the follow- ing maximum allowable speeds in each gear: Two−wheel drive models gear km/h (mph) 1 to 2 or 2 to 1 2 to 3 or 3 to 2 3 to 4 or 4 to 3 4 to 5 or 5 to 4 24 (15) 40 (25) 64 (40) 72 (45) Downshift to the appropriate gear if accel- eration is needed when you are cruising below the above downshifting speeds. Upshifting too too soon or downshifting late will cause lugging, and possibly ping- ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi- mum speed in each gear will cause ex- cessive engine wear and high fuel consumption. gear km/h (mph) 45 (28) 85 (53) 125 (78) 165 (112) Four−wheel drive models gear km/h (mph) “H2” or “H4” 45 (28) 85 (53) 125 (78) 165 (103) “L4” (9) 15 30 (18) 45 (28) 70 (43) NOTICE Good driving practice D If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put the transmission in neutral, release the clutch pedal momentarily, and then try again.

When the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the system automatically turns on. CAUTION Under certain slippery road condi- tions, full traction of the vehicle and power to the rear wheels (two−wheel drive models) or 4 wheels (four−wheel drive models) cannot be maintained, even though the traction control sys- tem is in operation. Do not drive the vehicle under any speed or maneuver- ing conditions which may cause the vehicle to lose traction control. In si- tuations where the road surface is covered with ice or snow, your ve- hicle should be fitted with snow tires or tire chains. Always drive at an ap- propriate and cautious speed for the present road conditions. Type A Type B 176 2004 TUNDRA from Sep. ’03 Prod.

A much greater steering effort and more careful cornering control will be re- quired. The “AUTO LSD” system aids traction by using the traction control system to control engine performance and braking when one of the rear wheels begins to spin. This system is used only when wheel spinning occurs in a ditch or on a slip- pery or rough surface. This system is effective in case one of the rear wheels is spinning. 2004 TUNDRA from Sep. ’03 Prod.
