M (manual mode) (models with manual
mode)
Use this position for driving in the manual
mode.
Refer to “Manual mode” later in this section
for details on how to use the manual mode.
L (Low) (models with switch of S-mode)
Use this position to provide maximum
power when climbing steep hills or driving
through deep snow or mud, or to provide
maximum engine braking when going
down steep hills. Switch of S-mode (models with switch
of S-mode)
75RM051
(1) Switch of S-mode
Switch of S-mode is ON
This mode is suitable when driving on hills
and/or rough roads.
• It will engage the engine brake when driving on down hills.
• It helps to operate powerful and smooth driving on up hills or rough roads with
stable engine revolutions. Switch of S-mode is OFF
This mode is suitable for normal driving.
• You can keep low fuel consumption with
less noise.
• Each time you press the switch, ON and OFF is switched.
• When the switch of S-mode is turned on, the S-mode indicator comes on.
• When you start the engine, the switch of
S-mode will be OFF.
NOTICE
Be sure to take the following precau-
tions to help avoid damage to the
CVT:
• Make sure that the vehicle is com-pletely stationary before shifting
into “P” or “R”.
• Do not shift from “P” or “N” to “R”, “D”, “M” or “L” wh en the engine is
running above idle speed.
• Do not rev the engine with the transaxle in a drive position (“R”,
“D”, “M” or “L”) and the front
wheels not moving.
• Do not use the accelerator to hold the vehicle on a hill. Use the vehi-
cle’s brakes.

Manual mode (models with manual
mode)
The CVT can shift gears automatically.
When using the manual mode, you can
shift gears in the same manner as conven-
tional manual transaxle.
To use the manual mode, shift the gearshift
lever from “D” to “M”.

(2) Gear position The information display shows the manual
mode indicator (1) and the current gear
position (2).
NOTE:
• The indicated gear position on the infor-
mation display when you shift from “D” to
“M” is the gear position that was
selected automatically when the gear-
shift lever was in “D”.
• You can change to the manual mode temporarily by pulling the shift paddle on
the steering wheel toward you when the
gearshift lever is in “D”.
Shifting in the manual mode
You can shift gears from 1st to 7th depend-
ing on driving speed.
NOTE:
• When the engine is revved, the gear is shifted up automatically to prevent dam-
age to the engine and the transaxle.
• When the driving speed becomes slow, the gear shifts down automatically, and
when the vehicle stops, the gear position
will be in 1st gear without shifting the
gearshift lever.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal a
certain amount, the gear shifts down
automatically even if the gearshift lever
is in the manual mode. NOTE:
When you change gear, sometimes the
transaxle may not shift to the desired gear
but a buzzer sounds instead. This is to
maintain good drivability and to protect the
transaxle.
Using the shift paddle
62R0144
To shift up, pull the “+” side shift paddle,
located on right side of the steering wheel,
toward you. When you release your finger
from the switch, the switch will return to the
original position.

To shift down, pull the “–” side shift paddle,
located on left side of the steering wheel,
toward you. When you release your finger
from the switch, the switch will return to the
original position.
NOTE:
• To shift gears continuously, release yourfinger from the shift paddle, then pull the
shift paddle again. You cannot shift
gears continuously while holding the
shift paddle toward you.
• When you pull the both “+” and “ –” shift
paddle simultaneously, the gear may not
shift.
Canceling the manual mode
To cancel the manual mode, shift the gear-
shift lever from “M” to “D”. Temporary manual mode
Pull the shift paddle toward you when driv-
ing with the gearshift lever in the “D” posi-
tion. The information display shows the
manual mode indicator (1) and the current
gear position (2).

75RM052
Vehicles with a CVT have an electrically
operated park-lock feat ure. If the vehicle’s
lead-acid battery is discharged, or there is
some other electrical failure, the CVT can-
not be shifted out of Park in the normal
way. Jump starting may correct the condi-
tion. If not, follow the procedure described
below. This procedure will permit shifting
the transaxle out of Park.

Conditions to restart the engine automatically
If any of the following vehicle conditions occur or operations are performed while the engine is stopped automatically, the en gine is
restarted automatically and the ENG A-STOP i ndicator light (green) goes off.
Common • The ENG A-STOP system is deactivated (OFF).
• The battery continues to be discharged. (#1)
• A malfunction was detect
ed in this system. (#2)
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low. (#1)

toward HOT while heating. (#1)
• The defroster is turned on. (#1)
Manual transaxle • The cl utch pedal is depressed.
CVT • The foot is removed from the brake pedal. (#3)
• The steering wheel is operated. (#4)
• The accelerator pedal is depressed.
• The gearshift lever is placed
in the “P”, “R” or “M” position.
When decelerating
(approximately 15 km/h (9 mph)
or less for manual transaxle
vehicles,
approximately 13 km/h (8 mph)
or less for CVT vehicles) Common • The engine hood was opened.

#1: After the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) blinks, it goes off. Also, the interior buzzer may sound at the same time.
#2: Depending on the sit uations of malfunction, it is a normal restart or the restart as #1.
#3: The engine may be restarted automatically when the brake ped al is depressed lightly. In this case, when the brake pedal is
depressed again, the engine is sto pped automatically and the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) comes on again.
#4: The steering force, not the steering amount, is a condition to restart the engine automatically when the steering wheel is operated.
Therefore, the amoun t that the steering whee l is operated when the engine is automatically res tarted may change depending on t he
road conditions or t he number of passengers.

75RM4-01E
Eco-Cool (if equipped)When driving while using the air condi-
tioner, cold air is stored in the cooling stor-
age medium of the air conditioner unit.
Since stored cold air will be blown into the
vehicle when the engine has been stopped
automatically by the ENG A-STOP system,
the rise of the inside temperature can be
reduced when the air conditioner is not
running.
For the automatic heating and air condi-
tioning system, reducing the rise of the
inside temperature increases the length of
time that the engine is stopped automati-
cally, leading to improved fuel economy.
NOTE:
Sufficient cold air may not be stored if the
vehicle has not been running for very long
or in a traffic jam. The effect varies
depending on the outside temperature and
the air conditioner settings.
I/S AC Settings (if equipped)• When using the automatic heating andair conditioning system (if equipped),
you can select one of the following set-
tings via the setting mode of the informa-
tion display.
– Standard
– Economy
–Comfort
For details on how to use the information
display, refer to “Information display” in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
• When “Economy” is selected, engine auto stop condition is eased, compared
with “Standard”. Engine auto stop condi-
tion will occur more f requently, the stop
time will be longer, leading to reduction
of fuel consumption.
• When “Comfort” is sel ected, engine auto
stop condition becomes severe, com-
pared with “Standard”. Engine auto stop
condition will occur less frequently, the
stop time will be shorter, leading to more
comfortable cabin condition by air condi-
tioner.
Cruise control (if equipped)The cruise control system allows you to
maintain a steady speed without keeping
your foot on the accelerator pedal. The
controls for operating the cruise control
system are on the steering wheel.
You can use the cruise control system
under the following conditions:
• For manual transaxle vehicle, the gear position is in 3rd, 4th or 5th.
• For CVT vehicle, the select lever is in “D” position, or the gear position is in 3rd,
4th, 5th, 6th or 7th in the manual mode
(if equipped).
• For Auto Gear Shift vehicle, the select lever is in “D” position, or the gear posi-
tion is in 3rd, 4th or 5th in the manual
mode.
• The vehicle speed is about 45 km/h (28
mph) or higher.
WA R N I N G
To help avoid loss of vehicle control,
do not use the cruise control system
when driving in heavy traffic, on slip-
pery or winding roads, or on steep
downhills.

• The lane departure warning may not be suitable for every situation.
Also, the system is not designed to
avoid the lane deviations automati-
cally. Do not rely excessively on
the system and always drive in a
safe manner.
• Depending on road surface condi-
tions, you may not feel the vibra-
tion of the steering wheel even
when the lane departure warning
works.
• For safety reasons, do not check
the operation of the system by
yourself.
