Performing gearshifts (manual mode)E00612900061
1. Choose the manual mode using the allshift
lever. Refer to “Choosing between automatic
mode and manual mode” on page 4-21.
2. While holding the accelerator pedal steady,
move the allshift lever in the + (UP SHIFT)
or - (DOWN SHIFT) direction. The currently
selected gear is indicated on the multi-infor-
mation display.throughUP SHIFTDOWN SHIFT
+ (UP SHIFT)
Push the allshift lever forward once to shift
up one gear.
- (DOWN SHIFT) Push the allshift lever backward once to shift
down one gear.
CAUTIONl To maintain good running performance,
the transmission may refuse to perform
an upshift when the allshift lever is
moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at
certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent
overrevving of the engine, the lever is
moved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” posi-
tion at certain vehicle speeds.
l Hard engine braking and sharp accelera-
tion can cause the tyres to slip on the
road surface. Perform downshifts in a
manner appropriate for the current road
conditions and vehicle speed.
NOTE
l During vehicle operation, the transmission au-
tomatically shifts down when the vehicle
speed decreases. It selects 1 st
gear just before
the vehicle reaches a standstill.
How to drive a vehicle with an
automated manual transmission E00613000014Starting from a standstill E00613100060
1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot.
2. Place the allshift lever in the “S” (Stand by)
position if you wish to drive forward and in
the “R” (Reverse) position if you wish to re-
verse. Confirm that either an “A”, a “1” or an
“R” is shown by the multi-information dis-
play.

NOTEl If the brake pedal is not depressed when the
allshift lever is moved, a gearshift will not
take place. At this time, the driver is notified
by a “0” on the multi-information display. De-
press the brake pedal to cause the gearshift to
take place. The multi-information display
will show the selected gearshift position.
3. Choose between the automatic mode and man-
ual mode with the allshift lever. Refer to
“ Choosing between automatic mode and man-
ual mode” on page 4-21.
4. Confirm safety around the vehicle, then re-
lease the parking brake.
5. Start moving by gradually easing off the
brake pedal while gently applying pressure
to the accelerator pedal.
NOTE l When driving away on a slippery road, push
the allshift lever forward into the “+ (UP
SHIFT)” position from the “S” (Stand by) po-
sition. This causes the transmission to shift in-
to the 2 nd
gear which is better for smooth driv-
ing away on a slippery road. At this time, the
multi-information display shows “2”. Push
the allshift lever to the “- (DOWN SHIFT)”
side to shift back to the 1 st
gear.
Starting from a standstill on an uphill slope 1.To prevent unwanted movement of the vehi-
cle, release the brake pedal while leaving the
parking brake applied.
2. Gently apply pressure to the accelerator ped-
al. As you feel the vehicle starts to move, re-
lease the parking brake and pull away.CAUTIONl When pulling away from a standstill on
an uphill slope, be sure to start with the
parking brake applied. If you released
the brake pedal without the parking
brake applied, therefore, the vehicle
would roll backward, possibly causing an
accident.Driving E00613200058WARNINGlNever move the allshift lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-
rious accident could occur since you will
lose engine braking.
Automatic mode
Drive with the allshift lever in the “S” (Stand by)
position. Gearshifts will take place automatically in
accordance with the vehicle speed.
Manual mode
Select appropriate gears using the allshift lever. Al-
ways select the gear that suits the speed at which
you wish to drive.
NOTE
l When “
”
and the allshift lever position dis-
play are flashing alternately, an upshift is rec-
ommended. When “
” and the allshift lever
position display are flashing alternately, a
downshift is recommended.
orthrough
Passing acceleration
•Automatic mode: Depress the accelera-
tion pedal to the floor.
• Manual mode: Use the allshift lever to
shift to an appropriate gear before depress-
ing the accelerator pedal to accelerate.
Driving downhill
When driving downhill, shift down to an appropri-
ate gear in order to use engine braking.
On long downward slopes, repeated use of the
brake pedal can cause the brake system to over-
heat, resulting in reduced braking performance. Be
sure to use engine braking as well as the brake sys-
tem.

WARNINGlHard engine braking can cause the tyres
to slip on the road surface, possibly lead-
ing to a serious accident.Waiting E00613300059
1.With the allshift lever in the “S” (Stand by)
position, firmly depress the brake pedal.
2. If necessary, apply the parking brake.
CAUTIONl On an uphill slope, the transmission’s
creep effect may not stop the vehicle from
rolling backward if the brakes are not ap-
plied. There is no creep effect while
2 nd
gear is selected. When stopping, be
sure to depress the brake pedal and se-
curely apply the parking brake.
l Do not attempt to hold the vehicle in
place on an uphill road in 1st
gear by de-
pressing on the accelerator pedal. The
transmission could malfunction if you do.
3. When you are stationary for a long period
(for example, when stuck in a traffic jam),
place the allshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position.
CAUTIONl Continue to pay attention to the vehicle
while stationary. If you allow your atten-
tion to wander and the allshift lever is in
any position other than “N” (Neutral),
the vehicle could move suddenly and un-
expectedly.
4. When you are ready to start moving again,
first confirm that the allshift lever is in the
“S” (Stand by) position or “R” (Reverse) po-
sition and that an “A”, “1”, or “R” is shown
on the multi-information display.
NOTE l During vehicle operation, the transmission au-
tomatically shifts down when the vehicle
speed decreases. It selects 1st
gear just before
the vehicle reaches a standstill.
CAUTIONl The actions described below cause rapid
clutch wear and can cause clutch dam-
age. Do not perform them. •Depressing the brake and accelerator
pedals at the same time.
• Holding the vehicle in place on an up-
hill road by depressing the accelerator
pedal (and not depressing the brake

RDS uses PI (program identification) signal and AF (alternative frequency) list transmitted in addition to the normal FM broadcasting programs, and picks up the
FM stations that are transmitting the same program from the AF list and automatically tunes to the station with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one program in, for example, a long distance driving without retuning to the other station transmitting the same program
when you are leaving the service area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited reception of the program types, the break-in reception of the traffic announcement to the EON (enhanced other network)
and emergency broadcast, and the limited/unlimited reception of the regional programs.
