NPEF
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate.
To return to D (Drive) range operation, push the shift lever back into the main
gate.
In sports mode, moving the shift lever
backwards and forwards will allow you to make gearshifts rapidly. In contrast
to a manual transaxle, the sports mode
allows gearshifts with the accelerator
pedal depressed.
Using the shift lever
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up one
gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one
gear.
NOTICE
•In sports mode, the driver must
execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, taking care
to keep the engine speed below
the red zone.
•In sports mode, only the 4 or 6
forward gears can be selected. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.
•In sports mode, downshifts are
made automatically when the ve‐
hicle slows down. When the vehicle
stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•In sports mode, when the engine
rpm approaches the red zone shift
points are varied to upshift auto‐
matically.
•To maintain the required levels of
vehicle performance and safety,
the system may not execute cer‐
tain gearshifts when the shift lev‐
er is operated.
•When driving on a slippery road,
push the shift lever forward into
the +(up) position. This causes the
transmission to shift into the 2nd
gear which is better for smooth
driving on a slippery road. Push
the shift lever to the -(down) side
to shift back to the 1st gear.
Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the automatic trans‐
axle has a shift lock system which pre‐ vents shifting the transaxle from P
(Park) into R (Reverse) unless the brake
pedal is depressed.
To shift the transaxle from P (Park) in‐ to R (Reverse): 1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
