 On vehicles with a s
portronic steering wheel
paddle shifter, gears
may not change when
the lateral paddle shifters are operated at thesame time. NOTE
 Gears can only be selected in a forward direction from 1st gear to 6th gear. To reverse or park the vehi
cle, move the selector
lever to the “R” or “P” position.  To maintain good running performance, the transaxle may refuse to perform an upshiftwhen the selector lever is moved to the “+(SHIFT UP)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of theengine, the transaxle may refuse to perform a downshift when the lever is moved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position
at certain vehicle
speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a dow
nshift is not going to
take place.  Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When thevehicle stops, 1st ge
ar is automatically
selected.  The upward shift may be
made automatically
in sports mode when the engine revolutions rises and approaches
the tachometer’s red
zone (the red-coloured
part of the tachometer
dial).CAUTION
 When pulling away from a standstill on a slippery road, push the
selector lever forward
to the +(SHIFT UP) pos
ition to select 2nd
gear. Push the selector lever to the - (SHIFT DOWN) side to shift back to 1st gear.

NOTE
 While driving in sports mode, the sports mode display may change to show “D” andshifting in sports
mode may no longer be
possible. This indicates that controls to drive in the “D” position are operati
ng normally in order
to lower the temperature of the automatic transaxle fluid; it doe
s not indicate a mal-
function. Once the temperature of the auto-matic transaxle fluid drops, shifting in the sports mode will be possible again.
Operation of the automatic transaxle

CAUTION Before selecting a gear
with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle
stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to
move as soon as the
gear is engaged, espe
cially when the engine
speed or idle speed is
high, or with the air
conditioning operating. Do not release the br
ake pedal until you are
ready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at all times.Using the left foot c
ould cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
