When the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to startfrom a standstill even with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE) position.This phenomenon occurs
because the trans-
axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem.
If this occurs, place
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle
for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will wa
rm up, and you will be
able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-upoperation.

The CVT will automatically and continuously change its gear ratio depending on road and driving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. 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 ratio to achieve stronger engine braking. This mayhelp reduce your need
to use the service
brake.
N00560301087
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a conti
nuously variable trans-
mission have a shift-lo
ck device that holds
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P”(PARK) position to a
nother position, follow
the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. 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, depe
nding on the speed of
the vehicle and the positi
on of the accelerator
pedal.
