DThe system will re−try shifting automat-
ically. This will take some time, noise
may be heard from the gears, and shift
shock may occur. However, they do not
indicate malfunction.
DThe driver may shift the shift lever to
the “N” position once, then shift to the
“M” position.
3. Release the parking brake and brake
pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopping with the engine
running. This operation prevents the
vehicle from starting by an unin-
tended activation of the starting as-
sist system.
NOTICE
zOn a slippery surface, it is possible
to start off with the gear in 2nd,
but to protect the clutch, try to
start using the 1st gear whenever
possible.
zIf the gear cannot be engaged to
1st or 2nd when the shift lever is
shifted from the “N” to “M” posi-
tion, try to shift the shift lever to
the “N” position once, then shift it
to “M” position a few seconds later.
Do not operate the system in the fol-
lowing manners. A life cycle of the
clutch may be reduced. If you do
these operation, a warning buzzer will
sound.

NOTICE
On an uphill, never hold the vehicle
stop only by the accelerator pedal op-
eration or when the starting assist
system is being activated. Otherwise
the warning buzzer (pulse sound) will
sound and the clutch may be dam-
aged. In such a case, pull over and
shift the shift lever to the “N” posi-
tion. Wait for around 15 minutes to
cool the clutch before starting again.

(d) Backing up
After the vehicle has stopped completely,
hold down the brake pedal and shift the
shift lever to “R” position. A reverse buzz-
er will sound once at this time. Depress
the accelerator pedal slowly as when
starting off. Before driving off, make sure
that the gear is in reverse by using the
gear position indicator.
When the gear cannot be engaged even
when the shift lever is shifted from “N” to
“R” position, the “N” indicator will blink
and a warning buzzer (long pulse sound)
will sound. Thesystem will re−try shifting
automatically, or the driver can shift the
shift lever to “N” position once, then shift
to “R” again.
DThe system will re−try shifting automat-
ically. This will take some time, noise

NOTICE
zThe system will not allow shifting
to the “R” position if the vehicle
speed is over 6 km/h (3 mph). In
case the shift lever is operated un-
der this condition, the “N” indicator
in the instrument cluster will blink.
However, when the vehicle speed
drops below 6 km/h (3 mph), the
gear is shifted to reverse. Make
sure that the vehicle has stopped
completely before shifting to the
“R” position.
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 gear cannot be engaged to
reverse when the shift lever is
shifted from the “N” to “R” posi-
tion, try to shift the shift lever to
the “N” position once, then shift it
to “R” position a few seconds later.
(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 “M” position, the gear will be down-
shifted to 1st when the vehicle stops.
However, if you do not drive the vehicle
over 40 km/h (24 mph) or convert the
drive position after starting with the gear
in 2nd, the gear will not be downshifted
to 1st when the vehicle stops the next
time and the gear is left in 2nd.
In case the driver ’s door is opened with
the gear in “M”, “E” 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), the shift lever will be locked if the
shift lever is in “N” position and the brake
pedal is released for approximately 2 sec-
onds.
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 “M” 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 the
“M(1)” position on an uphill by confirm-
ing the gear position with the gear
position indicator.
3. Stop the engine.

Manual transmission
MS16001a
The shift pattern is as shown above.
Press the clutch pedal down fully while
shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not
rest your foot on the clutch pedal while
driving, because it will cause clutch
trouble. Do not use the clutch to hold the
vehicle when stopped on an uphill grade—
use the parking brake.
Upshifting too soon or downshifting too
late will cause lugging, and possibly ping-
ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi-
mum speed in each gear will cause ex-
cessive engine wear and high fuel
consumption.
Maximum allowable speeds
To get on a highway or to pass slower
traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec-
essary. Make sure you observe the follow-
ing maximum allowable speeds in each
gear:
gear km/h (mph)
1 51 (31)
2 95 (59)
3 139 (86)
NOTICE
Do not downshift if you are going
faster than the maximum allowable
speed for the next gear down.
Good driving practice
If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put
the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to skid or
spin.
NOTICE
zDo not use any gears other than
first gear when starting off and
moving forward. Doing so may dam-
age the clutch.
zMake sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.
