pedal all the way down and shift into 1 st
or
“R” (Reverse) position. Then gradually re- lease the clutch pedal while depressing the
accelerator pedal.
Vehicles with 5M/TVehicles with 6M/T
CAUTIONl Do not put the gearshift lever into the re-
verse position while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so could damage the trans-mission.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature clutch wear or damage.
l Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position.
l Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest,
because this can result in premature wear of
the transmission shift forks.

NOTElDuring cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
l If it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l The gearshift indicator (if so equipped)
shows recommended gearshift points for
fuel-efficient driving. It shows a “
” when
an upshift is recommended, and it shows a
“
” when a downshift is recommended.
Type 2Type 1Moving the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position
E00615400100
Vehicles equipped with 5M/T
To shift into the “R” (Reverse) position from
5 th
gear, move the gearshift lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position, and then move it to the “R” (Reverse) position.
Vehicles equipped with 6M/T
Pull up the pull-ring (A), then move the gear-
shift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position with the pull-ring still pulled.
CAUTIONl Do not pull up the pull-ring (A) when mov-
ing the gearshift lever to any position other than the “R” (Reverse) position. If you al-
ways pulled up the pull-ring (A) when mov- ing the gearshift lever, you could uninten- tionally move the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position and cause an accident and/or a transmission fault.
The pull-ring will return to its original posi-
tion when you return the gearshift lever to the“N” (Neutral) position.
CAUTIONl If the pull-ring will not return from the
pulled-up position, we recommend you to
have the vehicle inspected.

Automatic transmission will automatically
change its gear depending on road and driv- ing conditions. This helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
Also you can manually shift up and shift down the transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode”
on page 6-28.NOTEl During running-in period or immediately af-
ter reconnection of the battery cable, there may be a case where gear shifts are not
made smoothly. This does not indicate a faulty transmission.
Gear shifts will become smooth after the transmission has been shifted several times
by the electronic control system.Selector lever operation
E00603301200
The transmission has 6 forward gears and 1
reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected automati-cally, depending on the speed of the vehicle
and the position of the accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the main gate (B) and the manual gate (C).While depressing the brake pedal,
move the selector lever through the gate.Move the selector lever through the
gate.WARNINGl Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into a gear from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) po-sition.
Never put your foot on the accelerator
pedal while shifting the selector lever
from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEU- TRAL) position.NOTEl To avoid erroneous operation, move the se-
lector lever firmly into each position and
briefly hold it there. Always check the posi- tion shown by the selector lever position dis-
play after moving the selector lever.
l If the brake pedal is not depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent the selector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.
