Continuously variable transmission (CVT)
Features and controls 5-61

If your vehicle is equipped with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter, you can manually shift the transmission up and down. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-65. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal isreleased and ensures smooth driving. According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratioto achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need to use the service brake.
N00560301104
As an additional safety precaution, modelsequipped with a CVT have a shift-lock devicethat holds the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position to anotherposition, follow the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Press and hold the lock button.
3. Move the selector lever to the desired position.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the position of the acceleratorpedal. The selector lever (A) has two gates; the main gate (B) and sports mode gate (C). In the main gate, selector lever has four posi- tions, and is equipped with a lock button (D)
to avoid inadvertent selection of the wrong gear.
DRIVING UPHILL DRIVING DOWNHILL Selector lever operation
NOTE
 The selector lever cannot be moved from “P” (PARK) to other position if the ignitionswitch is set to the “OFF” or “ACC” posi- tion, or if the key has been removed, or the operation mode is put in OFF or ACC, or ifthe brake pedal is not
pressed and held down.
The lock button must be pushed while the brake pedal is depressed to move the selector lever. The lock button must be pushed to move the selector lever. The lock button need not be pushed to move the selector lever.
WA R N I N G If the lock button is always pushed to operate the selector lever, the lever may beaccidentally shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position. Be sure not to push the lock button when performing the operations indicated by in the illustration.

In sports mode, the currently selected shift range is displayed on the information screen in the multi-information display.

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift. For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector lever position and held stationary with the service brake.
 Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Before the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected. Also, the vehicle will automatically return to“D” (DRIVE) operation if the vehicle is stopped.

NOTE
Operation of the CVT
CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, firmly depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is engaged, especially when the engine speed or idle speed is high, or with the airconditioning operating. Do not release the brake pedal until you are ready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times.Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high revolutions when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal willaffect braking efficiency and may cause pre- mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi- tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE) position orsports mode} or coast forward in the “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedaland steering effort could lead to an accident.
 Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
