 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.
Sports mode display

NOTE
Type 1 Type 2
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.

N00560801053
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift.
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be
left in selector lever
position and held stationary with the servicebrake. For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place th
e selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position a
nd apply the parking
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake.Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that
the selector lever is in
“D” (DRIVE) position or Sports mode posi-tion.
Operation of the CVT

CAUTION Before selecting a pos
ition with the engine
running and the vehicl
e stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to
move as soon as the
CVT is engaged, especi
ally 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. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting
on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficien
cy and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
 Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi-tions.Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE), “DS” (DOWN SHIFT & SPORTY DRVING), “L”(LOW) position or sports mode} 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 damage the CVT. Also, when you depress
the accelerator pedal
while holding down the brake pedal with the selector lever in th
e “D” (DRIVE) position,
the engine revolutions
may not rise as high
as when performing the same operation with the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration

CAUTION
NOTE
 In sports mode, downshi
fts do not take place
when the accelerator is depressed all the wayto the floor.
Waiting

CAUTION To avoid transmission
overheating, never try
to keep your vehicle st
ationary on a hill by
using the accelerator
pedal. Always apply
the parking brake and/or service brake. Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler- ation may occur if the selector lever is in aposition other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

ECO mode is an eco-driving support systemwhich automatically controls the engine, airconditioning system,
4WD system (if so
equipped) and S-AWC (if so equipped) to improve fuel efficiency.Refer to Electronically controlled 4WD sys- tem” on page 5-75. Refer to “S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Con-trol)” on page 5-78. Refer to “Automatic climate control air con- ditioner” on page 7-5. The ECO mode starts working by pressing the ECO mode switch when the ignition switch or operation mode is in ON. Push the switch again
and the ECO mode will
cancel.
While the ECO mode is working, an ECO mode indicator will be turned on.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-15

Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move that hand to the left. To move thetrailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you. When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider than normal turns to help prevent the trailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects. Avoid jerky or sudde
n maneuvers. Signal
well in advance. Towing a trailer puts a
dditional burden on the
engine and transaxle,
which may cause over-
heating. Following ar
e some suggestions to
reduce overheating: When towing at high al
titudes, engine coolant
and automatic transaxle oil will overheat at a lower temperature than at normal altitudes.If you turn your engine off immediately after towing at high altitude
on steep uphill grades,
your vehicle may show
signs similar to over-
heating. To avoid this
, let the engine run
while parked (preferably on level ground) with the automatic transaxle in the “P”(PARK) position for a few minutes before turning the engine off.  If the engine coolant temperature indica- tor flashes on the in
formation screen in
the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly, refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.
 If the warning display or warning display illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-62, 5-70.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t downshift, over using the brakes can cause reduced brake efficiency. You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. You may want to shift the selector lever to the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy loads or hillyconditions. Always place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)position. Avoid parki
ng on a hill with a
trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following: 1. Apply the brakes and keep them applied. 2. Have someone plac
e chocks or blocks
under both the vehicle
and trailer wheels.
Backing up Making turns
CAUTION Making sharp turns while towing a trailer could cause the
trailer to come in contact
with the vehicle. Your
vehicle could be dam-
aged. Avoid making sharp turns while tow- ing a trailer.
