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
E00602501436
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.
NOTE
• Pull the + (SHIFT UP) side shift paddle
forward (towards the driver) for over 2
seconds.
• Stop the vehicle.
•
Push the selector lever from the “D”
(DRIVE) position into the manual gate
(A) and push the selector lever back into
the main gate (B).

+ (SHIFT UP)
The transmission shifts up by one gear with
each operation.
- (SHIFT DOWN)
The transmission shifts down by one gear
with each operation.
CAUTION
l
In sports mode, the driver must execute up-
ward shifts in accordance with prevailing
road conditions, taking care to keep the en-
gine speed below the red zone.
l
Repeated continuous operation of the shift
paddles will continuously switch shift posi-
tion.
l Do not use the left- and right-hand shift pad-
dles at the same time. Doing so could cause
the wrong gear ratio to be selected.
NOTE
l Only the eight forward gears can be selected.
To reverse or park the vehicle, move the se-
lector lever to the “R” (Reverse) or “P”
(Park) position as required.
l To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up-
shift when the shift paddle on the “+ (SHIFT
UP)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds.
Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine,
the transmission may refuse to perform a
downshift when the shift lever or the shift
paddles on the “− (SHIFT DOWN)” side is
pulled at certain vehicle speeds. When this
happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a
downshift is not going to take place.
