NOTE●
On petrol-powered vehicles, the upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine revo- lutions rises and approaches
the tachometer’s red zone
(the red-coloured part
of the tachometer dial).
●
In sports mode, only the 5 forward gears can be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (P
ARK) position as required.
●
To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever is moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehi-cle speeds. Also, to prevent
over-revving of the engine,
the transmission may refuse to perform a downshift when the lever is moved to the “— (SHIFT DOWN)” position atcertain vehicle speeds.
●
In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1st
gear is automatically selected.
●
When driving away on a slippe
ry road, push the selector
lever forward into the “+
(SHIFT UP)” position. This
causes the transmission to shift into the 2nd gear which is better for smooth driving away on a slippery road. Push the selector lever to the “— (SHIFT DOWN)” side to shiftback to the 1st gear.
Sports mode indicator
E00612300254
In sports mode, the currently selected position is indicated by the indicator (A) shown on the instrument panel.NOTE●
When sports mode is select
ed, the “D” indicator goes off.
