 Shift ranges can only be selected in a for-
ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse or
park the vehicle, move the selector lever to
the “R” or “P” position.

To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an
upshift when the sportronic steering wheel
paddle shifter on the “+ (SHIFT UP)” side is
pulled at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to pre-
vent over-revving of the engine, the trans-
mission may refuse to perform a downshift
when the sportronic steering wheel paddle
shifter on the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” side is
pulled at certain vehicle speeds. When this
happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a
downshift is not going to take place.
 In sports mode, downward shifts are made
automatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1st position is auto-
matically 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 sports mode is not selected even
if you operate the sportronic steering wheel
paddle shifter.

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.
 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.
