Always use care to change the gear with the vehicle speed matched to the engine speed. Proper shifting will improve fuel economyand prolong engine life.
N00548101027
Always use care to change the gear with thevehicle speed matched to the engine speed. Proper shifting will improve fuel economy and prolong engine life.Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this may cause excessive engine speed (the tachometer needle into the red zone) anddamage the engine.
NOTE
 During cold weather, shifting may be diffi- cult until the transaxle lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to the transaxle.
To start

CAUTION Do not move the gearshift lever into reverse while the vehicle is moving forward; doing so will damage the transaxle.
 Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal because this will cause premature clutch wear or damage. Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position (illegal in many states). Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest, because this can result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.NOTE
 If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the clutch pedal a second time; the shift will thenbe easier.  To shift into reverse from 5th gear, move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position, and then shift it into reverse.
Proper shift points

CAUTION Avoid downshifting that may cause the tachometer pointer to enter the red zone. This puts the engine at risk of being dam-aged.CAUTION
Changing gears while the vehi- cle is moving

NOTE
 The gearshift indicator shows recommended gearshift points for fuel-efficient driving. It shows a “ ” when an upshift is recom- mended, and it shows a “ ” when a down- shift is recommended.

For the best fuel economy and performance in using your manual transaxle, upshift as listedbelow. At low altitude locations, shift at the vehicle speeds listed. Upshifting earlier during cruise conditions (relatively steady speeds) willimprove your fuel economy. At high altitude locations, upshift as listed below.
N00513000096
It is recommended that you downshift to a lower gear when needed to maintain the desired speed, according to the table.Avoid downshifting at too high a speed. The engine may suffer damage. To maintain a safe speed and prolong brakelife, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descend- ing a steep hill. Downshifting is also important to avoid “lug-ging” the engine at too low a speed, such aswhen turning a corner or when driving up a steep hill.
N00513100231
 Do not use the gearshift lever as a han- drest. This can result in premature wear ofthe transaxle shift forks.  The table above shows the maximum rec- ommended driving speed for in each gear.Do not drive near or at these speeds for prolonged periods of time.

At this position, the transmission is disen- gaged. It is the same as the neutral position ona manual transaxle and should be used when the vehicle is not moving for an extended length of time during driving, such as in atraffic jam. This position is used for most city and high- way driving. The trans
mission will automati-
cally and continuously change its gear ratio depending on road and driving conditions.
This position is for driving up very steep hills and for engine braki
ng at low speeds when
driving down steep hills.

Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is selected by pushing
the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position into the manual gate (1). To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, push the selector lever back into the main gate (2).In sports mode, rapid
shifting is possible sim-
ply by operating the selector lever or spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter.Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode allows shifting with the accelerator pedal depressed.
“N” NEUTRAL

WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally slip it into the “P”(PARK) or “R”(REVERSE) position, damaging the transmission. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope, the engine should be started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in“N” (NEUTRAL) position. To prevent rolling, always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift- ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-tion.
“D” DRIVE

CAUTION To prevent transmission damage, never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE) position while
the vehicle is in
motion.
“L” LOW (except for vehicles with manual gate)

WA R N I N G This position can be used for maximum engine braking.Be very careful not to shift into “L” (LOW) suddenly. Sudden engine braking may cause the tires to skid.Select this position according to the road conditions and vehicle speed.

While driving with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE), sports mode can be selectedby pulling one of the sportronic steering wheel shifters toward you. In sports mode, rapid sh
ifting is possible sim-
ply by operating the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter. Unlike the manual transaxle, sports modeallows shifting with the accelerator pedal depressed.
+ (SHIFT UP) Transmission shifts up once by each opera- tion. - (SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by each operation.
CAUTION Upward shifts do not take place automati- cally in sports mode. The driver must make upward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, making sure the engine rpm remains below the red zone on the tachome- ter.

SHIFT UP
 By rapidly moving the selector lever or spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” side twice, it is possible to skip one shift range (i.e., 3rd to 1st or 4th to 2nd). Since sudden engine braking or accel-eration can cause a loss of traction, down- shifts must be made carefully in accordance with the vehicle’s speed. On vehicles with a sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter, shift ranges may not changewhen the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.NOTE
 Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse orpark the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi- tion.  To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform anupshift when the selector lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “+(SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse to per-form a downshift when the shift lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “-(SHIFT DOWN)” position atcertain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place.CAUTION
 Move the selector lever gently between the manual and main gates and between posi- tions in the manual gate. And do not operate sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter vio- lently. Excessive force could damage theselector lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter.
Except for vehicles with manual gate
NOTE
 To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, pull the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the +(UP) side for longer than 2 seconds, or park the vehicle to change the selector leverposition indicator to “D” (DRIVE) and return to “D” (DRIVE) operation.NOTE

While the vehicle is stopped or being driven,move the gearshift lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position in the main shift gatetoward the driver’s seat to select manual shifting.
Each time the gearshift lever is pulled rear- ward, the transmission shifts up 1 gear. In addition, each time the gearshift lever ispushed forward, the transmission shifts down 1 gear.
CAUTION When manually shifting while the vehicle is being driven, select the correct shift position to control the engine speed so that the tachometer indicator does not enter the redzone. Sudden engine braking and rapid accelera- tion can cause the vehicle to skid. Shift down according to road conditions and vehicle speed. If both the left and right sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated at the same time,the transmission may not change gears.NOTE
 Only the forward gears 1 to 6 can be selected. To reverse or park, place the gearshift lever in the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi-tion.  During manual shifting, downshifting will be performed automatically when the vehicle slows down and the transmission will down- shift to 1st gear before the vehicle stops.
 If the gearshift lever or sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated repeatedly, the transmission will also shift repeatedly.  In order to ensure driving performance, upshifting may not occur depending on the vehicle speed even if the gearshift lever or sportronic steering wheel shifters are oper-ated. In addition, in order to prevent exces- sive engine speed, the buzzer sounds and downshifting may not occur depending onthe vehicle speed even if the gearshift lever or sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated.  When driving in an aggressive manner involving high engine rpm, sudden accelera-tion and/or deceleration, the Twin Clutch SST could take longer to shift due to higher fluid temperatures.
