permit
you
to operate
your
new
vehi-

without
requiring
a long
break-in
period
of low-speed driving.However
, you
can
add
to
the
future
perfor
-
mance
and
economy
of
your
vehicle
by
observing
the
following
precautions
during
the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive
your
vehicle
at moderate
speeds
during
the break-in period. Avoid
revving
the
engine.
For
vehicles
with
turbochar
ger
, do
not
exceed
5,000
rpm for the first 600 miles (1,000 km).Avoid
rough
driving
such
as
fast
starts,
sudden
acceleration,
prolonged
high-
speed
driving
and
sudden
braking.
These
would
have
a detrimental
effect
on
the
engine
and
also
cause
increased
fuel
and
oil
consumption,
which
could
result
in
malfunction
of the
engine
components.
Be
particularly
careful
to avoid
full
accelera-
tion
while
in low
gear
.
Do
not
overload
the
vehicle.
Observe
the
seating
capacity
(See
“Car
go
load
precau-
tions”
on
page
6-10).
Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

 Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than
15 seconds as this
could run the battery down or damage thestarter motor. If the engine does not start,turn the ignition switch back to the “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly withthe engine or starter motor still turning will damage the starter mechanism.  If the engine will not start because the bat- tery is weak or discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” (on page 8-2) for instructions. The engine is warmed up enough for driv- ing when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move. A lon-ger warm up period will only consume extra fuel.

The shift pattern below is shown on the gear-shift lever. Press the clutch pedal all the way down while shifting gears.
Press the clutch pedal all the way down and shift into 1st or “R” (Reverse) position. Thengradually release the clutch pedal while depressing the accelerator pedal.

Always use care to change the gear with the vehicle speed matched to the engine speed.Proper shifting will improve fuel economy and prolong engine life.
N00548101027
Always use care to change the gear with thevehicle speed matched to the engine speed. Proper shifting will improve fuel economyand prolong engine life. Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this may cause excessive engine speed (thetachometer needle into the red zone) and damage the engine.
Manual transaxle
(if so
equipped)
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 ofthe transaxle shift forks.NOTE
 If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the clutch pedal a second time; the shift will then be 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.

For the best fuel economy and performance in using your manual transaxle, upshift as listed below. At low altitude locations, shift at the vehicle speeds listed. Upshifting earlier during cruiseconditions (relatively steady speeds) will improve your fuel economy.
At high altitude locations, upshift as listed below.
N00513000096
It is recommended that you downshift to alower gear when needed to maintain thedesired speed, according to the table.Avoid downshifting at too high a speed. The engine may suffer damage.
To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, 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 as when turning a corner or when driving up a steep hill.
N00513100215
The table below shows the maximum recom- mended driving speed for in each gear. Do not drive near or at these speeds for pro-longed periods of time.
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.

The CVT will automatically and continuouslychange its gear ratio depending on road and driving conditions. This helps achievesmooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. Also you can manually shift up and shift down the transmission. Refer to “Sportsmode” on page 5-64. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving.
According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratioto achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need to use the service brake.
N00513800384
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a continuously variable trans- mission have a shift-lock device that holdsthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position to another position, followthe steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector lever to the desired position.
The CVT has 2 forward selector positions and 1 reverse selector position. The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati-cally when the selector lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) or “L” (LOW) position, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the position ofthe accelerator pedal.The selector lever has 5 positions.

CAUTION Do not operate the drive mode-selector with the front wheels spinning on a snowy road or in similar conditions. The vehicle couldlunge in an unexpected direction.  Driving on dry, paved roads in “4WD LOCK” mode causes increased fuel con- sumption, noise, and premature tire wear. Do not drive with the tires spinning in “2WD” mode. Doing so could generate heat in the drive-system components.NOTE
 The drive mode can be switched while driv- ing or stopped.
