what abrupt movement during the
first few shifts.
Always depress the brake pedalwhen moving the shift lever from N(Neutral) to a forward or reverse gear.
To avoid damage to your trans- mission, do not depress the
accelerator, when the shift lever
is in R (Reverse) or any forward
gear positions, and when the
brake is set.

by, especially children, before
moving the shift lever to D
(Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the

cle movement may occur
when these precautions are
not taken.

parking brake. Always make
sure the shift lever is latched
in P(Park) position, and the
parking brake is fully set.

• In sports mode, the transmissionwill automatically downshift, when
it slows down. When the vehicle
stops, the transmission automatical-
ly selects the 1st gear.
• In sports mode, the transmission will automatically upshift, when the
engine rpm approaches toward the
red zone.
• Even though the driver moves the shift lever to a +(up) or -(down)
position, the transmission may not
make the manually-requested gear
change, if the requested gear is out
of the allowable engine RPM range.
• When driving on a slippery road, set the shift lever in the 2nd gear, which
is better for smooth acceleration on
a slippery road.Shift lock system
For your safety, the automatic trans-
mission has a shift lock system to
prevent the transmission shifting

P(Park) into R(Reverse):
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the Engine Start/Stop button ON.
3. Move the shift lever.

depressed and released with the
shift lever in P(Park), you may expe-
rience chattering noises near the
shift lever. This is a normal condition.
