When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the gearshift lever position isshown on the multi-information display. In addition, when the vehicle is driven with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) posi-tion, the forward gear number is shown.
NOTE
 In the main shift gate, the gearshift lever has 4 positions.  For information on manual shift gate opera- tion, please refer to “Manual shift” on page5-64.
The pull-ring (D) must be pulled up while the brake pedal is depressed to move the gearshift lever. The gearshift lever will move without pulling up the pull-ring (D). The pull-ring (D) must be pulled up to move the gearshift lever.
WA R N I N G If the pull-ring is always pulled up when using the gearshift lever, the gearshift lever may be accidentally shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position. Do not pull up the pull-ring when making shifts shown by in the illustration. Always depress the brake pedal when shifting the gearshift lever into the other position from the “P” (PARK) or “N”(NEUTRAL) position. When beginning to drive, do not shift the gearshift lever from the “P” (PARK) or“N” (NEUTRAL) position while depress- ing the accelerator pedal. Doing so is dan- gerous because the vehicle will “jump”forward or backward.NOTE
 For a shift indicated by in the illustration, depress the brake pedal before moving the gearshift lever. If you attempt to move thegearshift lever before depressing the brake pedal, the gearshift lever will be immovable.  Do not accelerate immediately after moving the gearshift lever. It may take some time for the transmission to shift to the selected gear.  When the gearshift lever is operated when the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature islow, the time required to shift to the selected gear may be longer than usual.

Tw i n C l u t c h SST control
mode
Characteristic
Normal (Control mode when engine is started)
Control mode for normal driving on local roads, free- ways, and the like. Smooth shifting is per-formed at low engine speeds for economical driving with good ride quality.
Sport
Control mode for driving on mountain roads, roads with uphill and downhill slopes, and freeways with long downhill slopes where engine braking is necessary. Compared to “Normal” mode, shifting occurs at higher engine speeds and is quicker. In addition, quick downshifting is possible when the accelerator pedal is depressed for quick accel-eration or when the brakes are applied.
S-Sport
(Super Sport)
In the “S-Sport” mode, shifting occurs at higher engine speeds and is even quicker than in the “Sport” mode. “S-Sport” mode is designed to be used while driving on closed circuit tracks. Do not use this mode on public roads.
NOTE
 Damage to your vehicle caused by racing and/or driving on closed circuit tracks will not be covered under warranty. Please reviewthe “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL: NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY”.
Tw i n C l u t c h SST control
mode
Characteristic
 When continuously driving on closed circuit racetracks or at other locations where the engine is operated at high speeds and under a heavy load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid tem- perature will have a tendency to rise.In this case, if the temperature rises too high, the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display to alert the driver. If the warning display appears, be sure to refer to “Warning display” on page 5-60 and follow the appropriate measures.  The Twin Clutch SST control mode can be selected both when “D” range operation is selected and when manual shifting is selected.  If you select “Sport” mode or “S-Sport” mode while the engine is cold, the transmis-sion may shift up at different speeds com- pared to that when the engine is warm. This is simply the operation of the controlsystem to warm the engine quickly. It does not indicate a malfunction.  For slippery road surfaces, such as roads with accumulated snow, “Normal” mode is recommended for smooth shifting at low engine speeds.NOTE

N00541600042
The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher shift position if the computer deter- mines the current speed cannot be maintainedonce a higher shift position is engaged. For smoother vehicle performance, if you release the throttle while climbing a steep grade, the Twin Clutch SST may not upshift.This is normal, as the computer is temporarily preventing shifting. After reaching the top of the hill, normal shift function will resume.
When traveling down steep grades, the com- puter may automatically select a lower shift
 Depress the brake pedal with the right foot. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal willaffect braking efficiency, may cause prema- ture wear of brake pads and may cause engine damage. Use the gearshift lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi-tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE) or manualshifting} or coast forward in the “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedaland steering effort could lead to an accident. Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can cause sudden acceleration and dam- age the Twin Clutch SST.Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.CAUTION
Passing acceleration

NOTE
 In manual shift, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the wayto the floor.

If there is a malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST or engine electronic control module, the following may occur.  Twin Clutch SST does not shift.  Vehicle cannot move.  Twin Clutch SST acceleration is slow.  Vehicle does not creep.  “Shift shock” is large.  Shifting occurs at higher engine speed.  Response is slow.
If any of these occurs, perform the following procedure. The temperature of Twin Clutch SST fluid is high. Refer to “Warning display” on page 5-60 and follow the appropriate measures. There could be a malfunction in the engine electronic control module.
Waiting

CAUTION Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler- ation may occur if the gearshift lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Do not keep the vehicle in a stopped position on an uphill slope by depressing the acceler-ator pedal instead of the brake pedal. The transmission may be damaged and an accident may occur due to the following con-ditions.
• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature will rise and can cause transmission dam- age.• If the vehicle is kept in a stopped positionby depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal, the vehicle will vibrate or the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display to alert the driver that theTwin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen. After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature rises even higher, the transmis- sion protection control will operate. If this occurs, the vehicle may suddenly reverse as if the gearshift lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and cause anaccident. If the warning display appears or the transmission protection control operates, refer to “When warning display is showing” on page 5-60.
