the pedal, the transmission will return to
the original gear position.

!
While climbing a grade
When driving up a hill, undesired upshift to
4th gear is prevented from taking place
when the accelerator is released. This
minimizes the chance of subsequent
downshifting to a lower gear when accel-
erating again. This prevents repeated
upshifting and downshifting resulting in a
smoother operation of the vehicle.
NOTE
The transmission may downshift to 2nd
or 1st gear, depending on the way the
accelerator pedal is depressed to ac-
celerate the vehicle again.
!
While going down a hill
When you are descending a hill or any
other slope while braking with the
“
SPORT
”
mode selected, the transmission
may downshift to 3rd or 2nd gear depend-
ing on how hard you depress the brake
pedal, causing engine braking to work.
Reacceleration for a short time will cause
the transmission to upshift normally.
NOTE
.
A 4th-to-3rd automatic downshift
will not occur at speeds above 50
mph (80 km/h) and a 3rd-to-2nd auto-
matic downshift will not occur at
speeds above 24 mph (38 km/h).
.
Automatic downshifts to 3rd or 2nd
may occur even when driving on a level
road depending on conditions, such as
how hard you depress the brake pedal.

Shift lock function
The shift lock function helps prevent the
improper operation of the select lever.
.
The select lever cannot be operated
unless the ignition switch is turned to the
“
ON
”
position and the brake pedal is
depressed.
.
The select lever cannot be moved from
the
“
P
”
position to any other position
before the brake pedal is depressed.
Depress the brake pedal first, and then
operate the select lever.
.
Only the
“
P
”
position allows you to turn
the key from the
“
Acc
”
position to the
“
LOCK
”
position and remove the key from
the ignition key cylinder.
.
If the ignition switch is turned to the
“
LOCK
”
position while the select lever is in
the
“
N
”
position, the select lever may not
be moved to the
“
P
”
position after a period
of time. Therefore, move the select lever
to the
“
P
”
position with the brake pedal
depressed soon after the ignition switch is
turned to the
“
LOCK
”
position.
!
Shift lock release
If the select lever cannot be operated, turn
the ignition switch back to the
“
ON
”
position then move the select lever to the
“
P
”
position with the brake pedal de-
pressed.
If the select lever does not move after
performing the above procedure, perform
the following steps.

When the select lever cannot be
shifted from
“
P
