—Engine on and all accessories on.
This is the normal driving position.“ACC”—Accessories such as the radio
operate, but the engine is off.
“LOCK”—Engine is off and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position.
When the engine switch is turned from the
“ACC” to the “LOCK” position or 20 sec-
onds have elapsed since the engine
switch is turned from the “ON” to the
“ACC” position, the engine immobilizer
system is automatically set. (See “Engine

When starting the engine, the engine
switch may seem stuck at the “LOCK”
position. To free it, first be sure the key
is pushed all the way in, and then rock
the steering wheel slightly while turning
the key gently.
It is not a malfunction if the needles on
all meters and gauges move slightly when
the engine switch is turned to the “ACC”,
“ON” or “START” position.
CAUTION
Never remove the key when the ve-
hicle is moving, as this will lock the
steering wheel and result in loss of
steering control.
NOTICE

140ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE
MS16005a
The multi−mode manual transmission has
a shift lock system. This is the system to
lock the shift lever in order to hold the
actual transmission gear position consis-
tent with the shift lever when the engine
switch is turned to “ACC” or “LOCK” posi-
tion.
Although the shift locksystem is being
activated, shifting the shift lever from “E”
to “M” (or from “M” to “E”) is allowed.
When the engine switch is “ON” and the
vehicle speed is slower than 9 km/h (5
mph), if the shift lever is in “N” position
and the brake pedal is released for
approximately 2 seconds, the shift lever
will be locked.
When releasing the shift lock, depress the
brake pedal without holding the shift lever.
By this operation, the shift lock will be
unlocked and it enables the driver to
change the gear position using the shift
lever.
Shift lever
“R”:Reverse
“N”:Neutral and engine starting
“E”:Easy mode
“M”:Manual mode“+”:Upshifting
Pull the shift lever to the “+” di-
rection and release it. Every time
the lever is operated, the trans-
mission is upshifted 1 step in the
order of 1st→2nd→3rd→4th
→5th gear.
“−”:Downshifting
Push the shift lever to the “−”
direction and release it. Every
time the lever is operated, the
transmission is downshifted in the
order of 5th→4th→3rd→2nd
→1st gear.
The gear position is displayed on the gear
position indicator. The gear position indica-
tor shows the transmission gear position.
Before starting off, always make sure by
using the gear position indicator that the
gear is engaged in 1st or reverse, then
depress the accelerator pedal.
NOTICE
Do not operate the shift lever if it is
locked. If it is operated, damage to
the system may result. Check that the
shift lever is not locked before oper-
ating the shift lever.

144ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE
(e) Stopping
The vehicle can be stopped by depressing
the brake pedal regardless of the gear
position. This is because the clutch is
automatically disengaged to prevent the
engine from stopping. If the shift lever is
in the “E” position, the gear will be down-
shifted to 1st when the vehicle stops.
In case the driver ’s door is opened with
the gear in “E”, “M” or “R” position and
without depressing the brake pedal, a
warning buzzer (long pulse sound) will
sound.
When the engine switch is “ON” and the
vehicle speed is slower than 9 km/h (5
mph), if the shift lever is in “N” position
and the brake pedal is released (not de-
pressed) for approximately 2 seconds, the
shift lever will be locked.
Shift lock system is designed for prevent-
ing the vehicle from starting off by the
unintended activation of the starting assist
system.
The shift lock can be released by de-
pressing the brake pedal without holding
the shift lever.
CAUTION
DWhen stopping, for example, at a
traffic light, be sure to depress the
brake pedal firmly. For your safety,
apply parking brake, too, when
stopping on a hill.
DWhen racing the engine, make sure
that the gear position is in the “N”
position by the gear position indica-
tor. In case the accelerator is oper-
ated with the gear in any other
position, the vehicle may move re-
sulting in an unexpected accident.
DDo not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.
DWhen leaving the vehicle, stop the
engine and park the vehicle with
the gear engaged. In case you need
to leave the vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brakes
firmly, and shift the shift lever in
the “N” position. When the driver ’s
door is opened with the shift lever
in the “E” position while stopping
with the engine running, warning
buzzer (long pulse sound) will
sound. If this happens on a hill
when starting off the vehicle, the
vehicle may move unexpectedly and
cause an accident.

NOTICE
zOn an uphill, never hold the vehicle
stop only by the accelerator pedal
operation or when the starting as-
sist system is being activated.
Otherwise the warning buzzer
(pulse sound) will sound and the
clutch may be damaged. In such a
case, pull over and shift the shift
lever to the “N” position. Wait for
around 15 minutes to cool the
clutch before starting again.
zIf the shift lever is operated more
than necessary, the system may not
allow operation of the shift lever
for a certain period of time, and the
gear may not be shifted appropri-
ately. Therefore, do not operate the
shift lever if not necessary.
(f) Parking
Unlike the automatic transmission, the
multi−mode manual transmission does not
have a parking position. The vehicle can
be parked with the shift lever in any posi-
tion.
1. Apply the parking brake firmly.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, shift
the shift lever in the “R” position on a
downhill or a level surface, and “E(1)”
position on an uphill by confirming the
gear position with the gear position in-
dicator.
3. Stop the engine.
MS16008
1: Uphill
2: Level or downhill
To stop the engine:
Check the transmission gear position by
the gear position indicator, then turn the
engine switch off to stop the engine. Re-
lease the brake pedal after a few sec-
onds. The shift lever will be locked in the
position just before the engine switch was
turned off.
You can check the gear position by the
gear position indicator within 5 seconds
after turning the engine switch off.
CAUTION
DIf the gear is not engaged properly
and completely before the engine
switch is turned off, the vehicle
may not be parked with the gear
engaged. Always confirm the gear
position with the gear position indi-
cator when parking.
DOn a level surface or a downhill,
the gear should be put in reverse,
and in the 1st on an uphill. Other-
wise, the vehicle may move, and
cause an unexpected accident. If
the gear is left in the “N” position,
the vehicle can not be parked with
the gear engaged.

The gears are not shifted automatically. To
shift the transmission, the driver must op-
erate the shift lever to the “+” or “−”
direction. As the conventional manual
transmission vehicles, releasing the accel-
erator pedal a little will help the transmis-
sion to shift smoothly.
