Automatic Transaxle Controls

Indicates that you must depress the brake pedal to shift (The ignition 
must be switched to ACC or ON). 

Indicates the shift lever can be shifted freely into any position.

Various Lockouts: 

NOTE

The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic transaxle giving the
driver the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the transaxle to shift gears. Even if
you intend to use the automatic transaxle functions as a traditional automatic, you should also be
aware that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode and an inappropriate gear may be
retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you notice the engine speed going higher or hear the
engine racing, confirm you have not accidentally slipped into manual shift mode (page 5-15).
