✽✽NOTICE
 In sports mode, the driver must exe- cute upshifts in accordance with road
conditions. Be cautious to keep the
engine speed below the red zone.
 In sports mode, only the 5 (6 or 8) for-
ward 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 sports mode, downshifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows
down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear
is automatically selected.
 In sports mode, when the engine rpm approaches the red zone, shift points
are varied to upshift automatically.
 To maintain the required levels of vehi-
cle performance and safety, the system
may not execute certain gearshifts
when the shift lever is operated.
 When driving on a slippery road, push
the shift lever forward into the +(up)
position. This causes the transmission
to shift into the 2nd (or 3rd) gear which
is better for smooth driving on a slip-
pery road. Push the shift lever to the -
(down) side to shift back to the 1st gear.E060102AHM
Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the automatic transmis-
sion has a shift lock system which pre-

N (Neutral) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

lever in the P (Park) position, a chattering
noise near the shift lever may be heard. It
is a normal condition. Shift-lock override
If the shift lever cannot be moved from the
P (Park) or N (Neutral) position into the R
(Reverse) position even though the brake
pedal is depressed, continue depressing
the brake pedal, then do the following:
1. Carefully remove the cap covering the
shift-lock access hole.
2. Insert a screwdriver into the access hole and press down on the screwdriver.
