“D” DRIVE
This position is for normal driving. The transmission automati-
cally selects a suitable gear for your speed and acceleration.
Engine braking is automatically applied when necessary,
depending on road conditions.
Please refer to “Uphill/downhill driving” on page 4-33.
Sports mode
E00603900775
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is
selected by pushing the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE)
position into the manual gate (A). To return to “D” range oper-
ation, push the selector lever back into the main gate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rapidly simply by mov-
ing the selector lever backwards and forwards. In contrast to a
M/T, the sports mode allows gear shifts with the accelerator
pedal depressed.
+ (SHIFT UP)
Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear.
- (SHIFT DOWN)
Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one gear.
●
On a gradient the engine should be started in the
“P” (PARK) position, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.
●
Always keep your right foot on the brake pedal
when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL), or when
shifting into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL), to minimize
the risk of loss of control.
