Door locks
WA R N I N G Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in combination with theuse of seat belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an accident.• Locked doors can help keep passengers,especially small chil
dren, from opening
doors and falling out of moving vehicles.• Locked doors can help prevent outsidersfrom gaining access to your vehicle whenyou slow or come to a stop.
 Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly beovercome by heat and suffer serious injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave children unattended inside a vehicle. In addition to the risk of heat stroke, children can activate switches andcontrols, resulting in an injury or fatal accident.
NOTE
 When locking or unlocking with the key, only the driver’s door will be locked or unlocked. To lock or unlock all doors, use the power door lock switches, the keyless entry system,the F.A.S.T-key or the remote control trans- mitter of the F.A.S.T.-key. Refer to “Power door locks” on page 5-38, “Keyless entry system” on page 5-7 and 5-30, and “To operate using the F.A.S.T.- key” on page 5-14.  In vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key, the driver’s door can be locked and unlockedusing the emergency key.

While driving with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE), sports mode can be selected by pulling one of the sportronic steering wheel shifters toward you.In sports mode, rapid shifting is possible sim- ply by operating the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter.
Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode allows shifting with the accelerator pedal depressed.
CAUTION Upward shifts do not take place automati- cally in sports mode. The driver must make upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, making sure the engine rpm remains below the red zone on the tachome-ter. By rapidly moving the selector lever or spor- tronic steering wheel padd
le shifter to the “-
(SHIFT DOWN)” side tw
ice, it is possible to
skip one shift range (i.e., 3rd to 1st or 4th to2nd). Since sudden engine braking or accel- eration can cause a loss of traction, down- shifts must be made carefully in accordancewith the vehicle’s speed. On vehicles with a sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter, shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.NOTE
 Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever tothe “R” or “P” position.
 To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “+(SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehiclespeeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse to per- form a downshift when the shift lever orsportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, abuzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place.  Move the selector lever gently between the manual and main gates and between posi- tions in the manual gate. And do not operatesportronic steering whee
