Always turn the overdrive on for better
fuel economy and quieter driving. If the
engine coolant temperature is low, the
transmission will not shift into the over-
drive gear even with the overdrive on.
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brake
pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
(d) Driving in M mode
When the selector lever is into the “M”
position, you can select the gear posi-
tion manually by pushing the transmis-
sion shift switches on the steering
wheel. The M mode indicator light will
be displayed on the instrument cluster.
1: Upshift switch (rear side)
2: Downshift switch (front side)
When you push the transmission upshift
switch on the rear side of the steering
wheel, the transmission upshifts from “1”
to “2”, “3” and “4”.
Each time you push the transmission
downshift switch on the front side of the
steering wheel, the transmission down-
shifts from “4” to “3”, “2” and then to “1”.
The current gear position is displayed on
the instrument cluster.
Even if the lever is in the “M” position,
the transmission will downshift automati-
cally to first gear when you stop the ve-
hicle.
You attempt to downshift the transmission
when it is not possible to downshift due
to the high vehicle speed. A buzzer will
sound when this happens.
You can start from second gear by setting
the shift switch while the vehicle is
stopped. This is useful for driving your
vehicle on slippery (rainy, icy or snow–
covered) roads.
