Black plate (157,1)
Automatic Transmission Controls
Indicates the shift lever can be shifted freely into any position.
Various Lockouts: Indicates that you must depress the brake pedal to shift (The ignition
must be switched to ACC or ON).
NOTE
The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic transmission giving the
driver the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the transmission to shift gears. Even if
you intend to use the automatic transmission 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, confirm you have not accidentally slipped into manual shift mode (page 5-15).
