2-1. Driving procedures
■Starting off control
The ASG does not have the creep function of a conventional automatic transmis-
sion. The vehicle can be driven by selecting 1st gear or Reverse and depressing the
accelerator pedal.
■Maximum speed for each gear
To avoid over-revving the engine, do not exceed the maximum speed for each gear
as shown below.
mph (km/h)
*: Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
■Gear shift control
To ensure safety and driving performance, the following restrictions exist:
●Gear shifting with the paddle shift swit ches may not be possible under certain
driving conditions.
●Even while driving with a gear manually selected in SPORT, NORMAL, or
WET driving mode, the gears may change automatically under certain driving
conditions.
●If the paddle shift switches are operated repeatedly in a short space of time, a
temporary restriction of gear shifting may be activated. In this case, “Transmis-
sion pump overheat Shift rejected” will be displayed on the meter. ( P. 3 2 7 )
●Gear shifting with the paddle shift swit ches may not be possible when the trans-
mission fluid temperature is low. In this case, “Transmission temp low Shift
restricted” will be disp layed on the meter. (P. 3 2 7 )
