NOTE
l
While the selector lever position display is
blinking, a buzzer will sound intermittently.
Selector lever positions
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.
CAUTION
l Never shift into the “P” (Park) position
while the vehicle is in motion to avoid a
transmission damage.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
CAUTION
l Never shift into the “R” (Reverse) position
from the “D” (Drive) position while the ve-
hicle is in motion to avoid a transmission
damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position, the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on a
M/T, and should only be used when the vehi-
cle is stationary for an extended length of
time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
WARNING
l Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position while driving. A serious
accident could occur since you could acci-
dentally move the lever into the “P”
(Park) or “R” (Reverse) position or you
will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient, the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in
“N” (Neutral) position, or when shifting
into or out of “N” (Neutral) position.
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally and continuously change its gear ratio
depending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTION
l
To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (Drive) position from the “R”
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is in
motion.
Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in mo-
tion, sports mode is selected by gently push-
ing the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE)
position into sports mode gate (A).
To return to “D” range operation, gently push
the selector lever back into the main gate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap-
idly simply by moving the selector lever
backward and forward or using the shift pad-
dles at the steering wheel (for vehicles equip-
ped with the shift paddles). In contrast to a
M/T, the sports mode allows gear shifts with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
NOTE
l You can shift into sports mode with shift
paddles when the selector lever is in the
main gate (B) as well. Also, you can return
to the “D” range operation in any of follow-
ing ways.
When returning to “D” range operation, the
selector lever position display will change to
“D” (DRIVE) position.
