NOTE
This Sport AT has an option that is not included in traditional automatic transmission - giving the
driver the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the transmission to shift gears. Even if
you intend to use the automatic transmission functions as a traditional automatic, you should also be
aware that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode and an inappropriate gear may be
retained as you change speeds. If you notice the engine speed going higher or hear the engine racing,
confirm you have not accidentally slipped into manual shift mode (page 5-14).
