N00539800063
As an additional safety precaution, models equipped with a Twin Clutch SST have a shift-lock device that holds the gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move thegearshift lever from the “P” (PARK) position to another position, follow the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.
2. Move the gearshift lever to the desired position.
The Twin Clutch SST has 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear.The individual gears are selected automati- cally, depending on the position of the gear- shift lever, the speed of the vehicle and theposition of the accelerator pedal. The gearshift lever (A) has 2 gates; the main shift gate (B) and the manual shift gate (C).

NOTE
 The gearshift lever cannot be moved from “P” (PARK) to another position if the igni- tion switch is at the “LOCK” or “ACC” posi-tion, or the key has been removed, or if the brake pedal is not pressed and held down.
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.

N00540200083
Select the control mode from the following three types to suit the driving conditions.
WA R N I N G Never move the gearshift lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally slip it into the “P”(PARK) or “R”(REVERSE) position and the engine speed could rise, damaging the transmission. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope, the engine should bestarted in the “P” (PARK) position. Although the engine can be started when the vehicle is in the “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-tion, for safety reasons, do not start the engine in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position. Always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shifting into or out of“N” (NEUTRAL) position, to prevent roll- ing.
“D” DRIVE

CAUTION Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion. If the lever is shifted into the “D” (DRIVE) from the “R” (REVERSE) position while thevehicle is in motion, the transmission may be damaged.NOTE
 For information on manual shift gate opera- tion, please refer to “Manual shift” on page 5-64.  When the engine is cold, upshifts occur at a higher vehicle speed than when the engine is warm.This control is performed to quickly warm up the engine. It does not indicate a malfunc- tion. After the vehicle has been driven for awhile, upshifts will occur at the regular engine speeds.
Twin Clutch SST control mode

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.

When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position, operate the Twin Clutch SST control mode switch (A) to change the control mode. When the engine is started, the control mode is automatically set to the “Normal” mode. Use the following procedures to change the control mode. While the vehicle is stopped or being driven, push the Twin Clutch SST control modeswitch forward.
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
