Startability of the en
gine with an ambient
temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30°C) or lower, it may not be possible to start from a standstill even wi
th the selector lever
in the “D” (DRIVE) 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) positionand 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-up operation. The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve contro
l between a low-speed
mode and a high-speed mode in accordancewith driving conditions for maximum engine performance.
NOTE
 The engine can only be started when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.For safety reasons,
the engine should be
started when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position in which the driving wheelslock.NOTE
 Minor noises may be he
ard on engine start-
up. These will disappear
as the engine warms
up.

nding on road and driv-
ing conditions. This
helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency. Also you can manually shift up and shiftdown the transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-65. The transaxle prevents
unnecessary upshifts
even when the accelerator pedal is releasedand ensures smooth driving. According to the conditions, the transaxle will automatically shift to a lower gear to achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need to use the servicebrake.

selector lever, the speed of the vehicle and the position of the ac
celerator pedal.
NOTE
During the break-in pe
riod or immediately
after reconnecting the
battery, your vehicle
may not shift smoothly.
This does not indi-
cate a problem in the transaxle. Shifting will become smoother once the transaxle has been shifted several
times by the electronic
control system.
