NOTE:
•
In cold weather when the temperature of the
transmission oil is low, you may experience
slower automatic shift-downs from 3rd to 2nd
and from 2nd to 1st than usual. This does not
indicate any problem; shifting will return to nor-
mal speed as the oil temperature rises.
•
There could be an instance when gear engage-
ment is rather slow and you notice a delay in
gear shifting. If this happens repeatedly, please
have the vehicle inspected by an authorized
dealer.
6.1 Driving in automatic shift mode
If you pull away and drive in the automatic shift
mode, gearshifts will take place automatically as
shown below in accordance with the accelerator-
pedal position and vehicle speed. The automatic
shift mode indicator will be shown.
NOTE:
The starting gear is automatically selected accord-
ing to the steepness of the slope and the vehicle
loading. The vehicle will start in 2nd on level and
downhill roads and in 1st on uphill roads.
6.2 Driving in manual shift mode
Move the gearshift lever from the “D” position to the
“A/M” position to switch from the automatic shift
mode to the manual shift mode. You can also switch
to the manual shift mode by moving the gearshift
lever in the “+” or “–” direction.
The manual shift mode will then be set and the
automatic shift indicator “ ” will disappear from
the multi-information display.
