NOTE
Gears can only be selected in a forward direction from 1st
gear to 6th gear. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the
selector lever to the “R” or “P” position.

To maintain good running performance, the transaxle may
refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever is
moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the
transaxle may refuse to perform a downshift when the
lever is moved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at cer-
tain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds
to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place.

When pulling away from a standstill on a slippery road,
push the selector lever forward to the + (SHIFT UP) posi-
tion to select 2nd gear. Push the selector lever to the -
(SHIFT DOWN) side to shift back to 1st gear.
Sports mode display
N00538800167
In sports mode, the currently selected gear is displayed on the
information screen in the multi-information display.NOTE
While driving in sports mode, the sports mode display
may change to show “D” and shifting in sports mode may
no longer be possible.
This indicates that controls to drive in the “D” position are
operating normally in order to lower the temperature of
the automatic transaxle fluid; it does not indicate a mal-
function. Once the temperature of the automatic transaxle
fluid drops, shifting in the sports mode will be possible
again.

On vehicles with a sportronic steering wheel paddle
shifter, gears may not change when the lateral pad-
dle shifters are operated at the same time.
