D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transmission will auto-
matically shift, 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 automati-
cally downshift to the next lower gear.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive).
Manual Mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, Manual 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.
Manual Mode manages the driving
dynamics by automatically adjusting
the steering effort and the engine
and transmission control logic for
enhanced driver performance. In Manual Mode, mo
ving the shift
lever backwards or forwards will
allow you to make gearshifts rapidly.
In contrast to a manual transmission,
the Man ual Mode allows gearshifts
with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards
once to shift down one gear.

Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽NOTICE
• In Manual Mode, the driver must
execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, being care-
ful to keep the engine speed below
the red zone.
• In Manual Mode, only the 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 Manual Mode, downshifts are made automatically when the
vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automati-
cally selected.
• In Manual Mode, when the engine rpm approaches the red zone, shift
points are varied to upshift auto-
matically.
• To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety,
the system may not execute cer-
tain gearshifts when the shift lever
is operated. (Continued)(Continued)
• When driving on a slippery road,
push the shift lever forward into
the +(up) position. 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
to shift back to the 1st gear.
• When Manual Mode is activated: - The engine rpm will tend toremain raised over a certain
length of time even after releas-
ing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accel- erating
• In Manual Mode, the fuel efficien- cy may decrease.
Shift lock system
For your safety, the Intelligent
Variable Transmission (IVT) has a
shift lock system which prevents
shifting the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse) unless the
brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/STOP
button to the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chat-
tering noise near the shift lever may
be heard. This is a normal condition.
WARNING
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and while shifting
out of the P (Park) position into
another position to avoid inad-
vertent motion of the vehicle,
which could injure persons in
or around the vehicle.

Driving your vehicle
ESC OFF usage
When driving
 It’s a good idea to keep the ESCturned on for daily driving whenev-
er possible.
 To turn ESC off while driving, press the ESC OFF button while driving
on a flat road surface.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
The Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) is
designed to prevent the vehicle from
rolling back by applying the brakes
automatically for about 2 seconds.
The brakes are released when the
accelerator pedal is depressed or
after about 2 seconds.
The HAC is activated only for about 2
seconds, so when the vehicle is
starting off always depress the accel-
erator pedal.
WARNING- Operating
ESC
Never press the ESC OFF but-
ton while ESC is operating.
If the ESC is turned off while
ESC is operating, the vehicle
may go out of control.
WARNING- Maintaining
Brake Pressure on Incline
HAC does not replace the need
to apply brakes while stopped on
an incline. While stopped, make
sure you maintain brake pres-
sure sufficient to prevent your
vehicle from rolling backward
and causing an accident. Don’t
release the brake pedal until you
are ready to accelerate forward.
CAUTION
 The HAC does not operate when the transmission shiftlever is in the P (Park) or N(Neutral) position.
 The HAC activates even though the ESC is off but itdoes not activate when theESC has malfunctioned.
