When Driving
Automatic Transaxle
 Manual Shift Mode
            The  manual  shift  mode  gives  you  the  feel 
of driving a manual transaxle vehicle by 
allowing you to operate the selector lever 
manually. This allows you to control 
engine rpm and torque to the drive wheels 
much like a manual transaxle when more 
control is desired.
  To change to manual shift mode, shift the 
lever from D to M.
   
 
   NOTE
  Changing to manual shift mode while 
driving will not damage the transaxle.
   
  To return to automatic shift mode, shift the 
lever from M to D.
   NOTE
   If you change to manual shift mode 
when the vehicle is stopped, the gear 
will shift to M1.
   If you change to manual shift mode 
without depressing the accelerator 
pedal when driving in D range, 5th 
gear/6th gear, the gear will shift to M4/
M5.
     
         Indications
    Manual  shift  mode  indication
    In manual shift mode, the “M” of the shift 
position indication in the instrument panel 
illuminates.
  Gear  position  indication
    The numeral for the selected gear 
illuminates.
  
 
Manual shift mode 
indicationGear position indication
 
   NOTE
    If the gears cannot be shifted down 
when driving at higher speeds, the gear 
position indication will  fl ash twice to 
signal that the gears cannot be shifted 
down (to protect the transaxle).
    If the automatic transaxle  fl uid (ATF) 
temperature becomes too high, there 
is the possibility that the transaxle 
will switch to automatic shift mode, 
canceling manual shift mode and 
turning off the gear position indication 
illumination. This is a normal function 
to protect the AT. After the ATF 
temperature has decreased, the gear 
position indication illumination turns 
back on and driving in manual shift 
mode is restored.

When Driving
Automatic Transaxle
          Second Gear Fixed Mode
    When the selector lever is moved back    
while the vehicle speed is about 10 km/h 
(6.2 mph) or less, the transaxle is set in the 
second gear fi  xed mode. The gear is  fi xed 
in second while in this mode for easier 
acceleration from a stop and driving on 
slippery roads such as snow-covered 
roads.
  If the selector lever is moved back  
   or 
forward  
  while in the second gear  fi xed 
mode, the mode will be canceled.

When Driving
Automatic Transaxle
          Shift Gear (Shifting) Speed Limit
    For each gear position while in the manual mode, the speed limit is set \
as follows: When the 
selector lever is operated within the range of the speed limit, the gear\
 is shifted.
   
 
  Shift  up
    The gear does not shift up while the vehicle speed is lower than the spe\
ed limit.
  Shift  down
    The gear does not shift down while the vehicle speed exceeds the speed l\
imit.
  If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit and the gear does not shift\
 down, the gear 
position indication  fl ashes 2 times to notify the driver that the gear cannot be shifted.
  Kickdown
    When the accelerator pedal is depressed fully while driving, the gear sh\
ifts down.
  However, the gears do not kickdown while the TCS is turned off.
   NOTE
  The gear also shifts down using kickdown while in the second gear  fi xed mode.   
  Auto-shift  down
    The gear shifts down automatically depending on the vehicle speed during\
 deceleration.
   NOTE
  If the vehicle comes to a stop while in the second gear  fi xed mode, the gear remains in 
second.

When Driving
Switches and Controls
*Some models.
  Auto-light  control * 
    When the headlight switch is in the  
  position and the ignition is switched ON, the light 
sensor senses the surrounding lightness or darkness and automatically tu\
rns the headlights 
and other exterior lights on or off.
  CAUTION 
  Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windshield. Otherwise  the light sensor will not operate correctly.
 
   The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep hands and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is in the  
  position and the 
ignition is switched ON as fi  ngers could be pinched or the wipers and wiper blades could be 
damaged when the wipers activate automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield, 
be sure the wipers are turned off   completely when it is particularly tempting to leave the 
engine running. This is particularly important when clearing ice and snow. 
     
   NOTE
    The headlights and other exterior lights may not turn off immediately ev\
en if the 
surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor determines that it is night\
 
time if the surrounding area is continuously dark for several minutes such as inside long 
tunnels, traf fi c jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
  In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned to the  \
   position.    If the headlight switch and the windshield wiper switch are in   , and the wipers are 
operated at low or high speed by the auto wiper control for several seconds, bad weather 
conditions are determined and the headlights may be turned on.
    The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.  Refer to Personalization Features on page  9-11 .

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
*Some models.
 High Beam Control System (HBC) * 
              The  High  Beam  Control  System  (HBC)  determines  the  conditions  in  front  of  the  vehicle 
using the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) while driving in darkness to au\
tomatically switch 
the headlights between high and low beams.
  Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page  4-32 .
  While driving the vehicle at a speed of about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more\
, the headlights are 
switched to high beams when there are no vehicles ahead or approaching i\
n the opposite 
direction. 
  The system switches the headlights to low beams when one of the followin\
g occurs:
    The system detects a vehicle or the headlights/lights of a vehicle appro\
aching in the 
opposite direction.
   The vehicle is driven on roads lined with streetlamps or on roads in wel\
l-lit cities and 
towns.
   The vehicle is driven at less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).    
 
Forward Sensing 
Camera (FSC)
The recognition distance of the 
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) 
varies according to the 
surrounding conditions.
 
  The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
  Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page  4-33 .
  CAUTION 
  Do not adjust the vehicle height, modify the headlight units, or remove the camera,  otherwise the system will not operate normally.
  Do not rely excessively on the High Beam Control System (HBC) and drive the vehicle while paying suffi    cient attention to safety. Switch the headlights between the high beams and 
low beams manually if necessary.
