1. Choose  the  manual  mode  using  the  allshift
lever. Refer to  “Choosing between automatic
mode and manual mode” on page 4-21.
2. While  holding  the  accelerator  pedal  steady,
move  the  allshift  lever  in  the  +  (UP  SHIFT)
or - (DOWN SHIFT) direction. The currently
selected  gear  is  indicated  on  the  multi-infor-
mation display.throughUP SHIFTDOWN SHIFT
+ (UP SHIFT)
Push  the  allshift  lever  forward  once  to  shift
up one gear.
- (DOWN SHIFT) Push the allshift lever backward once to shift
down one gear.
CAUTIONl To  maintain  good  running  performance,
the  transmission  may  refuse  to  perform
an  upshift  when  the  allshift  lever  is
moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at
certain  vehicle  speeds.  Also,  to  prevent
overrevving  of  the  engine,  the  lever  is
moved  to  the  “-  (SHIFT  DOWN)”  posi-
tion at certain vehicle speeds.
l Hard engine braking and sharp accelera-
tion  can  cause  the  tyres  to  slip  on  the
road  surface.  Perform  downshifts  in  a
manner  appropriate  for  the  current  road
conditions and vehicle speed.
NOTE
l During vehicle operation, the transmission au-
tomatically  shifts  down  when  the  vehicle
speed decreases. It selects 1 st
 gear just before
the vehicle reaches a standstill.
How to drive a vehicle with an
automated manual transmission E00613000014Starting from a standstill E00613100060
1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot.
2. Place  the  allshift  lever  in  the  “S”  (Stand  by)
position  if  you  wish  to  drive  forward  and  in
the  “R”  (Reverse)  position  if  you  wish  to  re-
verse. Confirm that either an “A”, a “1” or an
“R”  is  shown  by  the  multi-information  dis-
play.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTEl If  the  brake  pedal  is  not  depressed  when  the
allshift  lever  is  moved,  a  gearshift  will  not
take place. At this time, the driver is notified
by a “0” on the multi-information display. De-
press the brake pedal to cause the gearshift to
take  place.  The  multi-information  display
will show the selected gearshift position.
3. Choose between the automatic mode and man-
ual  mode  with  the  allshift  lever.  Refer  to
“ Choosing between automatic mode and man-
ual mode” on page 4-21.
4. Confirm  safety  around  the  vehicle,  then  re-
lease the parking brake.
5. Start  moving  by  gradually  easing  off  the
brake  pedal  while  gently  applying  pressure
to the accelerator pedal.
NOTE l When  driving  away  on  a  slippery  road,  push
the  allshift  lever  forward  into  the  “+  (UP
SHIFT)” position from the “S” (Stand by) po-
sition. This causes the transmission to shift in-
to the 2 nd
 gear which is better for smooth driv-
ing away on a slippery road. At this time, the
multi-information  display  shows  “2”.  Push
the  allshift  lever  to  the  “-  (DOWN  SHIFT)”
side to shift back to the 1 st
 gear.
Starting from a standstill on an uphill slope 1.To  prevent  unwanted  movement  of  the  vehi-
cle, release the brake pedal while leaving the
parking brake applied.
2. Gently apply pressure to the accelerator ped-
al. As you feel the vehicle starts to move, re-
lease the parking brake and pull away.CAUTIONl When  pulling  away  from  a  standstill  on
an  uphill  slope,  be  sure  to  start  with  the
parking  brake  applied.  If  you  released
the  brake  pedal  without  the  parking
brake  applied,  therefore,  the  vehicle
would roll backward, possibly causing an
accident.Driving E00613200058WARNINGlNever  move  the  allshift  lever  to  the  “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-
rious  accident  could  occur  since  you  will
lose engine braking.
Automatic mode
Drive  with  the  allshift  lever  in  the  “S”  (Stand  by)
position. Gearshifts will take place automatically in
accordance with the vehicle speed.
Manual mode
Select appropriate gears using the allshift lever. Al-
ways  select  the  gear  that  suits  the  speed  at  which
you wish to drive.
NOTE
l When “
”
 and the allshift lever position dis-
play are flashing alternately, an upshift is rec-
ommended.  When  “
”   and  the  allshift  lever
position  display  are  flashing  alternately,  a
downshift is recommended.
orthrough
Passing acceleration
•Automatic  mode:  Depress  the  accelera-
tion pedal to the floor.
• Manual  mode:  Use  the  allshift  lever  to
shift to an appropriate gear before depress-
ing the accelerator pedal to accelerate.
Driving downhill
When  driving  downhill,  shift  down  to  an  appropri-
ate gear in order to use engine braking.
On  long  downward  slopes,  repeated  use  of  the
brake  pedal  can  cause  the  brake  system  to  over-
heat,  resulting  in  reduced  braking  performance.  Be
sure to use engine braking as well as the brake sys-
tem.

ing to a serious accident.Waiting E00613300059
1.With  the  allshift  lever  in  the  “S”  (Stand  by)
position, firmly depress the brake pedal.
2. If necessary, apply the parking brake.
CAUTIONl On  an  uphill  slope,  the  transmission’s
creep effect may not stop the vehicle from
rolling backward if the brakes are not ap-
plied.  There  is  no  creep  effect  while
2 nd
  gear  is  selected.  When  stopping,  be
sure  to  depress  the  brake  pedal  and  se-
curely apply the parking brake.
l Do  not  attempt  to  hold  the  vehicle  in
place  on  an  uphill  road  in  1st
  gear  by  de-
pressing  on  the  accelerator  pedal.  The
transmission could malfunction if you do.
3. When  you  are  stationary  for  a  long  period
(for  example,  when  stuck  in  a  traffic  jam),
place  the  allshift  lever  in  the  “N”  (Neutral)
position.
CAUTIONl Continue  to  pay  attention  to  the  vehicle
while  stationary.  If  you  allow  your  atten-
tion  to  wander  and  the  allshift  lever  is  in
any  position  other  than  “N”  (Neutral),
the  vehicle  could  move  suddenly  and  un-
expectedly.
4. When  you  are  ready  to  start  moving  again,
first  confirm  that  the  allshift  lever  is  in  the
“S” (Stand by) position or “R” (Reverse) po-
sition  and  that  an  “A”,  “1”,  or  “R”  is  shown
on the multi-information display.
NOTE l During vehicle operation, the transmission au-
tomatically  shifts  down  when  the  vehicle
speed decreases. It selects  1st
 gear just before
the vehicle reaches a standstill.
CAUTIONl The  actions  described  below  cause  rapid
clutch  wear  and  can  cause  clutch  dam-
age. Do not perform them. •Depressing  the  brake  and  accelerator

RDS uses PI (program identification) signal and AF (alternative frequency) list transmitted in addition to the normal FM broadcasting programs, and picks up the
FM stations that are transmitting the same program from the AF list and automatically tunes to the station with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one program in, for example, a long distance driving without retuning to the other station transmitting the same program
when you are leaving the service area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited reception of the program types, the break-in reception of the traffic announcement to the EON (enhanced other network)
and emergency broadcast, and the limited/unlimited reception of the regional programs.

the same PI code in AF list.
If  there  are  no  frequencies  broadcasting  the  same
programming, the radio searches a frequency broad-
casting  the  regional  programming.  The  radio  suc-
ceeds  in  searching  the  regional  programming,  then
the display shows the REG indicator (14).
If  the  radio  does  not  succeed  in  searching  the  re-
gional  programming,  the  radio  returns  to  the  recal-
