Starting and operating/Continuously variable transmission
neutral. Engine braking has no effect in
this condition.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
select lever in the
“
N
”
(neutral)
position. Engine braking has no
effect in this condition and the risk
of an accident is consequently in-
creased.
NOTE
If the select lever is in the
“
N
”
position
when you stop the engine for parking,
you may not subsequently be able to
move it to the
“
R
”
and
“
P
”
positions. If
this happens, turn the ignition switch to
the
“
ON
”
position. You will then be able
to move the select lever to the
“
P
”
position.
!
D (Drive)
This position is for normal driving. The
transmission shifts automatically and con-
tinuously into a suitable gear according to
the vehicle speed and the acceleration
you require. Also, while driving up and
down a hill, the transmission assists and
controls the driving performance and
engine braking while corresponding to
the road grade.
When more acceleration is required in
“
D
”
position, depress the accelerator pedal
fully to the floor and hold that position. The
transmission will automatically downshift.
When you release the pedal, the transmis-
sion will return to the original gear posi-
tion.
For models with manual mode, if one of
the shift paddles behind the steering
wheel is operated while driving in the
“
D
”
position, the transmission will temporarily
switch to the manual mode. In this mode,
you can shift into any gear position using
the shift paddles. For details about the
manual mode, refer to
“
Selection of
manual mode
” F
7-26. Once the vehicle
speed stabilizes, the transmission will
switch from the manual mode back to
the
“
D
”
position for normal driving.
&
Selection of manual mode (if
equipped)
CAUTION
Do not place or hang anything on
the shift paddles. Doing so may
result in accidental gear shifting.
NOTE
Please read the following points care-
fully and bear them in mind when using
the manual mode.
.
If you attempt to shift down when
the engine speed is too high, i.e., when
a downshift would push the tachometer
needle beyond the red zone, beeps will
be emitted to warn you that the down-
shift is not possible.
.
If you attempt to shift up when the
vehicle speed is too low, the transmis-
sion will not respond.
.
You can perform a skip-shift (for
example, from 4th to 2nd) by operating
the shift paddle twice in rapid succes-
sion.
.
The transmission automatically se-
lects 1st gear when the vehicle stops
moving.
.
If the temperature of the transmis-
sion fluid becomes too high, the
“
AT
OIL TEMP
”
warning light on the combi-
nation meter will illuminate. Immedi-
ately stop the vehicle in a safe location
and let the engine idle until the warning
light turns off.
