WARNING
When you intend to park or
stop the vehicle with the
engine on, be careful not to
depress the accelerator pedal
for a long period of time. It may
overheat the engine or exhaust
system and cause a fire.
When you make a sudden stop
or turn the steering wheel rap-
idly, loose objects may drop on
the floor and it could interfere
with the operation of the foot
pedals, possibly causing an
accident. Keep all things in the
vehicle safely stored.
If you do not focus on driving,
it may cause an accident. Be
careful when operating what
may disturb driving such as
audio or heater. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always drive safely.
WARNING
All passengers must be proper-
ly belted whenever the vehicle
is moving. Refer to “Seat belts”
in section 3 for more informa-
tion on their proper use.
WARNING- Driving under
the influence of alcohol or
drugs
Drinking and driving is danger-
ous. Drunk driving is the num-
ber one contributor to the high-
way death toll each year. Even a
small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, percep-
tions and judgment. Driving
while under the influence of
drugs is as dangerous or more
dangerous than driving drunk.
You are much more likely to
have a serious accident if you
drink or take drugs and drive.
If you are drinking or taking
drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been drink-
ing or taking drugs. Choose a
designated driver or call a cab.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
putting a car into D (Drive) or R
(Reverse).

gear for the manual transmis-
sion or P (Park) for the auto-
matic transmission
,set the
parking brake fully and shut
the engine off. Unexpected

Good driving practices
Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the car in
gear.
Don't "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-
function. Instead, when you are
driving down a long hill, slow down
and shift to a lower gear. When you
do this, engine braking will help
slow the car.
Slow down before shifting to a
lower gear. This will help avoid
over-revving the engine, which can
cause damage.
Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you much
better control of your car.
Be sure the car is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into reverse. The transmission can
be damaged if you do not. To shift
into reverse, depress the clutch,
move the shift lever to neutral, wait
3 seconds, then shift to the reverse
position. Exercise extreme caution when
driving on slippery surfaces. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
the vehicle to go out of control.WARNING
Always buckle-up! In a colli-
sion, an unbelted occupant is
significantly more likely to be
seriously injured or killed than
a properly belted occupant.
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway
speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver over-
steers to reenter the roadway.
In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer
sharply. Instead, slow down
before pulling back into the
travel lanes.
Never exceed posted speed
limits.

D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transmission will auto-
matically shift through a 8-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transmission will
automatically downshift to the next
lower gear (or gears, as appropri-
ate).
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive).
Sport mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, sport mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate.
To return to D (Drive) range opera-
tion, push the shift lever back into the
main gate.In sport mode, it is possible to shift
the gear by using either the shift
lever or the steering wheel shift pad-
dles (dynamic shift).

✽ ✽
NOTICE
When the shift lever is in the P, N or
R position, you can't shift the gear
by using the steering wheel shift
paddles.
In sport mode, if you pull the left
and right hand shift paddles at the
same time, you can't shift the gear.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• In sport mode, the driver must
execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, taking care
to keep the engine speed below the
red zone.
• In sport mode, only the 8 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 sport mode, downshifts are
made automatically when the
vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automati-
cally selected.
• In sport mode, when the engine
rpm approaches the red zone the
transmission will upshift automat-
ically.
• If the driver presses the lever to
+(up) or -(Down) position, the
transmission may not make the
requested gear change if the next
gear is outside of the allowable
engine rpm range.
(Continued)(Continued)
• When starting from a stop on a
slippery road, push the shift lever
forward into the +(up) position or
pull the right-hand shift paddle.
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 or pull the left-
hand shift paddle to shift back to
the 1st gear.
