 To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an
upshift when the sportronic steering wheel
paddle shifter is moved to the “+(SHIFT
UP)” position at certain vehicle speeds.
Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine,
the transmission may refuse to perform a
downshift when the sportronic steering
wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “
−
(SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle
speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds
to indicate that a downshift is not going to
take place.
 Downward shifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. Before the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.
Also, the vehicle will automatically return to
“D” (DRIVE) operation if the vehicle is
stopped.

When the selector lever is in the “L” (LOW)
position, the sport mode is not selected even
if you operate the sportronic steering wheel
paddle shifter.
 The upward shift may be made automatically
in sports mode when the engine speed rises
and approaches the tachometer’s red zone.
NOTE Sports mode display
Operation of the CVT
CAUTION
 Before selecting a position with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-
cle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the
CVT is engaged, especially when the engine
speed or idle speed is high, or with the air
conditioning operating.
Do not release the brake pedal until you are
ready to drive away.
Type 1 Type 2
 Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at
all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
 To prevent sudden acceleration, never run
the engine at high rpms when shifting from
the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
 Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
 Use the selector lever in the correct shift
position in accordance with driving condi-
tions.
Never coast downhill backward in the driv-
ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE), “DS”
(DOWN SHIFT & SPORTY DRVING), “L”
(LOW) position or sports mode} or coast
forward in the “R” (REVERSE) position.
Engine stopping and increased brake pedal
and steering effort could lead to an accident.
 Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the CVT.
Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal
while holding down the brake pedal with the
selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position,
the engine revolutions may not rise as high
as when performing the same operation with
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.
