Automatic Transmission
Automatic transmission opera-tion
The automatic transmission has six
forward speeds and one reversespeed. The individual speeds are selected
automatically in the D (Drive) posi-tion.

Driving your vehicle
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart
a stalled engine, or if it is necessary
to stop with the engine ON. Shift into
P (Park) if you need to leave your
vehicle for any reason.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through a six-gear sequence,
providing the best fuel economy and
power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill depress
the accelerator pedal further until
you feel the transmission downshift
to a lower gear.
The DRIVE MODE switch, located
on the shift lever console, allows the
driver to switch from NORMAL mode
to SPORT or ECO mode.
For more information, refer to
"Drive Mode Integrated Control
System" later in this chapter.
Always come to a complete
stop before shifting into or out
of R (Reverse); you may dam-
age the transmission if you shift
into R (Reverse) while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
CAUTION
Do not shift into gear unless
your foot is firmly on the brake
pedal. Shifting into gear whenthe engine is running at high
speed can cause the vehicle to
move very rapidly. You could
lose control of the vehicle andhit people or objects.

Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, manual shift 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 Manual Shift Mode, moving the
shift lever backwards and forwards
will allow you to select the desired
range of gears for the current driving
conditions.
+ (Up) : Push the lever forward once
to shift up one gear.
- (Down) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one
gear.
Information
 Only the six forward gears can beselected. To reverse or park the
vehicle, move the shift lever to the R
(Reverse) or P (Park) position as
required.
 Downshifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When
the vehicle stops, 1
stgear is automat-
ically selected.
 When the engine rpm approaches the red zone the transmission will
upshift automatically.
(Continued)(Continued)
 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. The driver must
execute upshifts in accordance with
road conditions, taking care to keep
the engine rpms below the red zone.
 When accelerating from a stop on a slippery road, push the shift lever
forward into the + (Up) position.
This allows the transmission to shift
into the 2
ndgear which is better for
smooth driving on a slippery road.
Push the shift lever to the - (Down)
side to shift back to the 1
stgear.

Driving your vehicle
The Ecoshift dual clutch transmis-sion gives the driving feel of a man-
ual transmission, yet provides the
ease of a fully automatic transmis-
sion. Unlike a traditional automatic
transmission, the gear shifting can
sometimes be felt and heard on the
Ecoshift dual clutch transmission,as the actuators engage the clutchand the gear is selected.
The Ecoshift dual clutch transmis- sion can be thought of as an auto-
matically shifting manual transmis-
sion. When D (Drive) is selected,
the transmission will automaticallyshift through the gears similar to a
conventional automatic transmis-sion.
The Ecoshift dual clutch transmis- sion incorporates a dry-type dual
clutch mechanism, which allows for
better acceleration performanceand increased fuel efficiency while
driving. But it differs from a con-
ventional automatic transmission in
that it does not incorporate a
torque converter. Instead, the tran-
sition from one gear to the next is
managed by clutch slip, especially
at lower speeds. As a result, shifts are sometimes
more noticeable, and a light vibra-
tion can be felt as the transmissionshaft speed is matched with the
engine shaft speed. This is a nor-mal condition of the Ecoshift dual
clutch transmission.
The dry-type clutch transfers torque more directly and provides
a direct-drive feeling which may
feel different from a conventional
automatic transmission. This may
be more noticeable when launch-
ing the vehicle from a stop or when
traveling at low, stop-and-go vehi-
cle speeds.
When rapidly accelerating from a lower vehicle speed, the engine
rpm may increase dramatically asa result of clutch slip as the
Ecoshift dual clutch transmission
selects the correct gear. This is a
normal condition.
When accelerating from a stop on an incline, press the accelerator
smoothly and gradually to avoid
any shudder feeling or jerkiness.

To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, then set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occurif these precautions are not
followed.
Do not use engine braking
(shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads. The vehicle mayslip causing an accident.

Driving your vehicle
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart
a stalled engine, or if it is necessary
to stop with the engine ON. Shift into
P (Park) if you need to leave your
vehicle for any reason.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through a seven-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill depress
the accelerator pedal further until
you feel the transmission downshift
to a lower gear.
The DRIVE MODE switch, located
on the shift lever console, allows the
driver to switch from NORMAL mode
to SPORT or ECO mode.

"Drive Mode Integrated Control
System" later in this chapter.
Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or

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.5

Do not shift into gear unless
your foot is firmly on the brake
pedal. Shifting into gear whenthe engine is running at high
speed can cause the vehicle to
move very rapidly. You could
