AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFT DIAGRAM
Automatic shift schedule as a result of shift control is shown below. In case that select lever is shifted to L at a higher
than 52 km / h or 33 mile / h speed for G16 engine (45 km / h or 28 mile / h for J20 engine, 55 km / h or 34 mile / h for
H25 engine), 2nd or 3rd gear is operated and then down shifts to 1st at a speed lower than that. No up shift is
available in L.
The same as, the select lever is shifted to 2 at a higher than 102 km/h (64 mile/h) speed for G16/J20 engines (105
km / h or 65 mile / h for H25 engine), 3rd gear is operated and then down shifts to 2nd at a speed lower than that.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 person, a driver and tester, on a level road.
