        HINT.

        • *1. The speed, time and distance values are approximate values
        • *2. After accelerating, the deceleration does not need to be performed immediately.
        • *3. There is no specified time or distance.
      3. Repeat the road tests until the shift shock and engine speed overrun (engine speed flare when shifting) reach an acceptable level
        NOTE: When repeating the acceleration / deceleration cycle of a road test pattern, bring the vehicle to a complete stop before accelerating again.
