Automatic transaxle (if so equipped)
5-72 Features and controls
5
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transaxle will automatically
change its gear depending on road and driv-
ing conditions.
This position is for driving up very steep hills
and for engine braking at low speeds when
driving down steep hills.
N00514401485
While the vehicle is stopped or being driven
with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or
“L” (LOW) position, sports mode can be
selected by pulling one of the sportronic
steering wheel paddle shifter towards you.
In sports mode, rapid shifting is possible sim-
ply by operating the sportronic steering wheel
paddle shifter.
Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode
allows shifting with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
To return to “D” (DRIVE) or “L” (LOW)
operation, pull the sportronic steering wheel
paddle shifter on the + (SHIFT UP) side for
longer than 2 seconds.
When returning to “D” (DRIVE) or “L”
(LOW) operation, the selector lever position
display will change to “D” (DRIVE) or “L”
(LOW) position.
WARNING
 Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving since
you could accidentally slip it into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position,
damaging the transaxle.
 To prevent the vehicle from rolling when
stopped on a slope, the engine should be
started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
 To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in
“N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift-
ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.
“D” DRIVE
CAUTION
 To prevent transaxle damage, never shift into
the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion.
“L” LOW
WARNING
 This position can be used for maximum
engine braking.
Be very careful not to shift into “L”
(LOW) suddenly.
Sudden engine braking may cause the
tires to skid.
Select this position according to the road
conditions and vehicle speed.
