Starting and driving
The transmission returns to the normal driving
mode.
When you pull the paddle shifter while in the D
(Drive) position, the transmission will shift to
the upper or lower range temporarily. The
transmission will automatically return to the D
(Drive) position after a short period of time. If
you want to return to the D (Drive) position
manually, pull and hold the right-side paddle
shifter (+)
for approximately 1.5 seconds.
In the manual shift mode, the shift range is
displayed in the multi-information display.
Shift ranges up or down one by one (1M to
8M).
8
M
(8th):
Use this position for all normal forward driving
at highway speeds.
7
M
(7th), 6
M
(6th) and 5
M
(5th):
Use these positions when driving up long
slopes, or for engine braking when driving
down long slopes.
4
M
(4th), 3
M
(3rd) and 2
M
(2nd):
Use these positions for hill climbing or engine
braking on downhill grades.
1
M
(1st):
Use this position when climbing steep hills
slowly or driving slowly through deep snow, or
for maximum engine braking on steep downhill
grades.
.
Remember not to drive at high speeds for
extended periods of time in lower than 8th
gear. This reduces fuel economy.
. Pulling the same paddle shifter twice will
shift the ranges in succession. However, if
this motion is rapidly done, the second
shifting may not be completed properly.
.
In the manual shift mode, the transmis-
sion may not shift to the selected gear.
This helps maintain driving performance
and reduces the chance of vehicle damage
or loss of control.
.
When this situation occurs, the Continu-
ously Variable Transmission (CVT) posi-
tion indicator will blink and the chime
will sound.
.
In the manual shift mode, the transmis-
sion may shift up automatically to a
higher range than selected if the engine
speed is too high. When the vehicle speed
decreases, the transmission automatically
shifts down and shifts to 1st gear before
the vehicle comes to a stop.
. CVT operation is limited to automatic drive
mode when CVT fluid temperature is
extremely low even if manual shift mode
is selected. This is not a malfunction. When
CVT fluid warms up, manual shift mode
can be selected.
.
When the CVT fluid temperature is high,
the shift range may upshift in lower rpm
than usual. This is not a malfunction.
Accelerator downshift - in D (Drive)
position -
For passing or climbing hills, depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts the
transmission down into a lower gear, depending
on the vehicle speed.
High fluid temperature protection
mode
This transmission has a high fluid temperature
protection mode. If the fluid temperature
becomes too high, (for example, when climbing
steep grades in high temperatures with heavy
loads), engine power and, under some condi-
tions, vehicle speed will be decreased auto-
matically to reduce the chance of transmission
damage. Vehicle speed can be controlled with
the accelerator pedal, but the engine and vehicle
speed may be limited.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the Con-
tinuously Variable Transmission will not be
shifted into the selected driving position.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel spinning
