NOTE:
• Always shift the gearshift lever without
pushing in the knob button except when
you shift from “P” to “R”, from “D” to “M”,
from “N” to “R” or from “R” to “P”. If you
always push in the knob button when
shifting the gearshift lever, you could
shift into “P”, “R” or “M” by mistake.
• If driver’s or passenger’s knee hits the
gearshift lever while driving, the lever
could move and the gear could be
changed unexpectedly.
Manual mode
The automatic transaxle can shift gears
automatically. When using the manual
mode, you can shift gears in the same
manner as conventional manual transaxle.
To use the manual mode, shift the gearshift
lever from “D” to “M”.

(1) Manual mode indicator
(2) Gear position
The information display shows the manual
mode indicator and the current gear posi-
tion.
NOTE:
• The indicated gear position on the infor-
mation display when you shift from “D” to
“M” is the gear position that was
selected automatically when the gear-
shift lever was in “D”.
• You can change to the manual mode
temporarily by pulling the shift paddle on
the steering wheel toward you when the
gearshift lever is in “D”.
Shifting in the manual mode
You can shift gears from 1st to 6th depend-
ing on driving speed.
NOTE:
• When the engine is revved, the gear is
shifted up automatically to prevent dam-
age to the engine and the transaxle.
• When the driving speed becomes slow,
the gear shifts down automatically, and
when the vehicle stops, the gear position
will be in 1st gear without shifting the
gearshift lever.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal a
certain amount, the gear shifts down
automatically even if the gearshift lever
is in the manual mode.
