Selector lever positions
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to
prevent the vehicle from moving. The
engine can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
112)
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is
disengaged. It is the same as the
neutral position on a manual
transmission, and should only be used
when the vehicle is stationary for an
extended length of time during driving,
such as in a traffic jam.
113) 114) 115)
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and
highway driving. The transmission will
automatically change its gear
depending on road and driving
conditions.
116)
Sport mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by
gently pushing the selector lever from
the “D” (DRIVE) position into the manual
gate (A). To return to “D” range
operation, gently push the selector lever
back into the main gate (B).In sports mode, gear shifts can be
made rapidly simply by moving the
selector lever backward and forward.
For vehicles equipped with the shift
paddles, shift paddles at the steering
wheel can also be used to perform
gearshift. In contrast to a manual
transmission, the sports mode allows
gear shifts with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
NOTE If your vehicle is equipped with
the shift paddles, you can shift into
sports mode with shift paddles when
the selector lever is in the main gate as
well. Also, you can return to the “D”
range operation in any of following
ways. When returning to “D” range
operation, the selector lever position
display will change to “D” (DRIVE)
position.
Pull the + (SHIFT UP) side shift
paddle forward (toward the driver) for
over 2 seconds.
Stop the vehicle.
Push the selector lever from the “D”
(DRIVE) position into the manual gate
(A) and push the selector lever back
into the main gate (B).
+ Shift up
The transmission shifts up by one gear
with each operation.
— Shift down
The transmission shifts down by one
gear with each operation.
117) 118) 119)
NOTE Only the 5 forward gears can be
selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the selector lever to the “R”
(REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as
required.
NOTE To maintain good running
performance, the transmission may
refuse to perform an upshift when the
selector lever or the shift paddles is
moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at
certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent
over-revving of the engine, the
transmission may refuse to perform a
downshift when the selector lever or the
shift paddles is moved to the “—
(SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain

Test Mode
You can check if the system is in the
normal standby state by the following
process. Before operation, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, with good
visibility, where radio waves can be
transmitted and received.
Change to Test Mode
1 — When the ignition switch or the
operation mode is set to “OFF”, set the
ignition switch or the operation mode to
“ON” while pressing the SOS switch.
2 — After setting the ignition switch or
the operation mode to “ON”, perform
Steps 3 and 4 within 10 seconds.
3 — Release your finger from the SOS
switch.

3. While pressing the snap pin (F) on
the assembled handle (E), insert the
whitemarked handle (G) until it is locked
by snap pin as illustrated.HOW TO CHANGE A
TYRE
163) 164)
Before changing a tyre, first stop your
vehicle in a safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual
transmission, turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK” position or put the
operation mode in OFF, and move the
gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, move the selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position, and turn the
ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF.
4. Turn on the hazard flashers and set
up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance
from the vehicle, and have all your
passengers leave the vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling
when jacking up the vehicle, place
chocks or blocks (A) at the tyre that is
diagonally opposite from the tyre (B)
you are changing.
291) 292) 293) 294) 295) 296)
NOTE The chocks shown in the
illustration do not come with your
vehicle. It is recommended that you
keep ones in the vehicle for use if
needed.
NOTE If chocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are
large enough to hold the wheel in
position.
6. Get the jack, jack handle and wheel
nut wrench ready. Refer to “Tools, jack
and jack handle”.
Spare wheel information
The spare wheel is stored under the floor
of the cargo bed. Check the air pressure
of the spare tyre frequently and make
sure it is ready for emergency use at any
time. Maintaining the spare wheel at the
highest specified air pressure will ensure
that it can always be used under any
conditions (city/high-speed driving,
varying load weight, etc.).

NOTE Confirm that the hanger disc is
securely fitted in the wheel disc hole
when the wheel is just lifted off the
ground.
3. After winding up the spare wheel
sufficiently, make sure it is not loose (the
tightening torque should be
approximately 40 Nm (achieved by
applying a force of 200 N at the end of
the wheel nut wrench) then withdraw
the jack handle.
4. Have your damaged tyre repaired as
soon as possible.

To store the tools, jack and jack
handle
Reverse the removing procedure when
storing the jack, jack handle and wheel
nut wrench. Refer to “Tools, jack and
jack handle”.
WARNING
291)Use the jack only to replace wheels
on the vehicle with which it is supplied or
on other vehicles of the same model. Never
use the jack for other purposes, such as
lifting other car models. Never use the jack
to carry out repairs under the vehicle.
Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause
the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the
label.292)Have the wheel repaired and refitted
as soon as possible. Do not apply grease
to the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
293)The spare wheel supplied (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specific for your vehicle. Therefore, it must
not be used on other models. Do not use
spare wheels of other models on your
vehicle. The wheel bolts are specific for
your vehicle: do not use them on different
models and do not use bolts from other
models on your car.
294)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your vehicle is
stationary according to the regulations in
force. Passengers should get out of the
vehicle, particularly if it is heavily loaded,
and wait for the wheel to be changed away
from the traffic. Apply the handbrake. in the
event of a wheel change on a slope or on
unsurfaced roads, put any object as stop
under the wheels.
295)Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to
the correct tyre when jacking up the
vehicle. If the vehicle moves while jacked
up, the jack could slip out of position,
leading to an accident.
296)The pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed. Driving
with an insufficient tyre pressure can lead
to an accident. If you have no choice but to
drive with an insufficient tyre pressure,
keep your speed down and inflate the tyre
to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures”).297)Set the jack only at the positions
shown here. If the jack is set at a wrong
position, it could dent your vehicle or the
jack might fall over and cause personal
injury.
298)Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft
surface. Otherwise, the jack might slip and
cause personal injury. Always use the jack
on a flat, hard surface. Before setting the
jack, make sure there are no sand or
pebbles under the jack base.
299)Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon
as the tyre is raised off the ground. It is
dangerous to raise the vehicle any higher.
Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack. Do not bump the raised vehicle or
leave it sitting on the jack for a long time.
Both are very dangerous. Do not use a jack
except the one that came with your
vehicle. The jack should not be used for
any purpose other than to change a tyre.
No one should be in your vehicle when
using the jack. Do not start or run the
engine while your vehicle is on the jack. Do
not turn the raised wheel. The tyres still on
the ground could turn and make your
vehicle fall off the jack.
300)Do not get under your vehicle while
using the jack.
301)Do not bump the raised vehicle or
leave it sitting on the jack for a long time.
Both are very dangerous.
302)Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
303)The jack should not be used for any
purpose other than to change a tyre.
304)No one should be in your vehicle
when using the jack.
305)Do not start or run the engine while
your vehicle is on the jack.
