NOTE
The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic transaxle that
gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the transaxle to
shift gears. Even if you intend to use the automatic transaxle functions as a traditional
automatic, you should also be aware that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift
mode and an inappropriate gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you
notice the engine speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confi rm you have not
accidentally slipped into manual shift mode (page 4-53 ).
