TURBOChAR gER T iPS
After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, idle engine at least 30
seconds in order to cool turbocharger. Avoid shutting the engine off
abruptly after a hard or long drive as turbocharger damage may result.
Do NOT race or over-rev ANY engine when starting, particularly a
turbocharged engine.
Do NOT add aftermarket devices to alter the engine’s ignition, fuel delivery,
or turbo boost pressure, as this may lead to serious engine damage and
void your warranty.
Fuel: Premium Fuel Recommended – 91-93 Octane.
Lower Octane Fuel Usage
If 91 octane fuel is not available, fuel as low as 87 octane can be used. Use
of lower octane fuel can decrease per formance; refueling the vehicle with
the correct octane fuel a couple of times will restore vehicle performance
and shift quality.
The Sport AT Manual Shift Mode gives you the
feel of driving a manual transmission by allowing
you to manually shift to control engine rpm and
torque when more control is desired.
To Use Manual Shift Mode:
Shift the lever from D to M.
Note:
Changing to manual mode
can be done while driving the vehicle.
To Shift Up To A Higher Gear:
Tap the shift lever back (+) once.
To Shift Down To A Lower Gear:
Tap the shift lever forward (-) once.

Manual Climate Control
15
Note: Applies to Manual and Automatic Climate Control Systems: With any type
of defroster operation (even in the FLOOR mode where some air goes to defrost to
keep the windows defrosted), the system turns on the A /C and selects the FRESH AIR
mode. This helps defrost the windows more efficiently by dehumidifying the air. The
A /C will always be on in defroster mode, but the defroster (and floor) will deliver warm
air when the temperature dial is set to a warmer temperature and the engine warms up.
