AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Manual Shift Mode
When the selector lever is shifted from D to
the manual shift gate with the vehicle stopped
or while driving, the transmission enters the
manual shift mode. Shift range can be selected
manually. In the manual shift mode, the shift
range is displayed on the position indicator in
the meter.
When Shifting Up
When shifting up, move the selector lever to the
+ (up) side. (Shifts to higher range.)
When Shifting Down
When shifting down, move the selector lever to the
- (down) side. (Shifts to lower range.)
In the manual shift mode, the transmission automatically shifts down to 1st gear
before the vehicle comes to a stop.
Moving the selector lever to the same side twice will shift the ranges in succession.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for detailed information.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Reverse Gear
Lock-out:
In 6-speed manual transmission-equipped vehicles, the shift lever is equipped with
a reverse lock-out feature that prevents accidental selection of R (Reverse) (instead
of 6th gear).
Shifting to Reverse:
Depress the shift lever down, then move it to the right and back into R (reverse).
NOTE: When shifting, always depress the clutch pedal fully to avoid noise and gear grind.
RPM SHIFT INDICATOR
(Manual transmission only)
The engine RPM shift indicator light (REV) is located in
the tachometer. During driving, it indicates ‘shift point’,
or time to up-shift.
The shift indicator light will begin flashing about
500 RPM before a pre-set engine RPM is reached
in any gear. Then, when the actual pre-set RPM is
reached, the shift indicator light will stop flashing
and remain on.
The engine RPM shift point may be set by the
driver using the Trip Computer display. Or it may be
deactivated, also using the Trip Computer display.
