Use this position for
your normal driving. The transmis-
sion automatically selects a suitable
gear (1 through 5) for your speed
and acceleration. You may notice the
transmission shifting up at higher
speeds when the engine is cold. This
helps the engine warm up faster.
With
the shift lever in ‘‘D’’ position, you
can select the Sequential SportShift
Mode to shift gears; much like a
manual transmission, but without a
clutch pedal.
To enter the Sequential SportShift
Mode, move the shift lever further to
the driver’s side. To return to ‘‘D’’,
move the shift lever to the
passenger’s side.
When you move the shift lever from
‘‘D’’ to the Sequential SportShift
Mode, the display shows the
selected gear and the ‘‘M’’ indicator
comes on. In the Sequential SportShift Mode,
each time you push forward on the
shift lever, the transmission shifts to
a higher gear. Pull back on the lever
to downshift. The number of the
gear selected is displayed next to the
‘‘M’’ indicator (see page
).
Use neutral if you
need to restart a stalled engine, or if
it is necessary to stop briefly with
the engine idling. Shift to Park posi-
tion if you need to leave the vehicle
for any reason. Press on the brake
pedal when you are moving the shift
lever from neutral to another gear.
