be operated with that position.
When the ignition switch is turned from the “ACC” position,
the power is supplied again to those devices.NOTE
It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• The time until the power cuts out can be changed to
about 60 minutes.

NOTE
If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the clutch pedal a sec-
ond time; the shift will then be easier.

To shift into reverse from 5th gear, move the gearshift
lever to the “N” (Neutral) position, and then shift it into
reverse.

The gearshift indicator shows recommended gearshift
points for fuel-efficient driving. It shows a “ ” when an
upshift is recommended, and it shows a “ ” when a
downshift is recommended.
Proper shift points
N00537400052
Always use care to change the gear with the vehicle speed
matched to the engine speed. Proper shifting will improve fuel
economy and prolong engine life.
CAUTION
!
Do not move the gearshift lever into reverse while
the vehicle is moving forward; doing so will damage
the transaxle.
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal because
this will cause premature clutch wear or damage.
Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position (illegal in
many states).
Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest, because
this can result in premature wear of the transaxle
shift forks.
CAUTION
!
Avoid downshifting that may cause the tachometer
pointer to enter the red zone.
This puts the engine at risk of being damaged.

Driving precautions
N00513100228

Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest. This can
result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.Maximum possible driving speed
The table above shows the maximum recommended driv-
ing speed for in each gear. Do not drive near or at these
speeds for prolonged periods of time.
Continuously variable transmission (CVT)

(if so equipped)
N00560200047
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. Also you
can manually shift up and shift down the transmission. Refer to
“ Sports mode ” on page 3-80.DRIVING UPHILLThe transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the
accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving.DRIVING DOWNHILLAccording to the conditions, the transmission will automati-
cally shift to a lower gear ratio to achieve stronger engine brak-
ing. This may help reduce your need to use the service brake.

+ (SHIFT UP)
Transmission shifts up once by each operation.
- (SHIFT DOWN)
Transmission shifts down once by each operation.
NOTE
The upward shift may be made automatically in sports
mode when the engine revolutions rises and approaches
the tachometer’s red zone (the red-colored part of the
tachometer dial).

Shift ranges can only be selected in a forward direction
from 1st to 6th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the
selector lever to the “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 vehicle speeds. Also,
to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission
may refuse to perform a downshift when the shift lever or
sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “-
(SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds.
When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a
downshift is not going to take place.

In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st
position is automatically selected.
CAUTION
!
In sports mode, the driver must execute upward
shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions,
taking care to keep the engine speed below the red
zone.
Repeated continuous operation of the selector lever
or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will
continuously switch shift position.
