STARTING AND DRIVING
104)In the following cases, the engine will
restart automatically even if the engine was
stopped by the Start&Stop system. Pay
careful attention, otherwise an unexpected
accident might occur when the engine
restarts: vehicle speed is 3 km/h or higher
when coasting down a slope; brake
booster vacuum pressure is low because
the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly or
depressed harder than usual; engine
coolant temperature is low; when the air
conditioner is operated by pressing the air
conditioning switch; when the preset
temperature of the air conditioner is
changed significantly; when the air
conditioner is operated in AUTO mode
where the temperature control is set to the
max. hot or the max. cool (for vehicles with
automatic climate air conditioning); when
the air conditioner is ON, the passenger
compartment temperature rises and the air
conditioning compressor operates to lower
the temperature; demister switch is
pressed. Refer to “For quick demisting”;
electric power consumption is high, such
as when the rear window demister or other
electrical components are operating or the
blower speed is set to a high setting;

TRANSMISSION
The shift pattern is shown on the
gearshift lever knob. To start off,
depress the clutch pedal all the way
down and shift into 1st or “R” (Reverse)
position. Then gradually release the
clutch pedal while depressing the
accelerator pedal.
227)
105) 106) 107) 108) 109)
During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transmission lubricant
has warmed up. This is normal and not
harmful to the transmission.
If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be
easier to make.
In case of hot weather condition or long
time cruising with high speed, a speed
limitation function may work to restrict
the oil temperature rising of the manual
transmission. After the oil temperature
drops to the appropriate level, the
speed limitation function is cancelled.
The gearshift indicator shows
recommended gearshift points for
fuel-efficient driving. It shows a
when
an upshift is recommended.Moving the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position
Depress and hold the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position.110)
Possible driving speed
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as
this may cause excessive engine speed
(the tachometer needle into the red
zone) and damage the engine.

operation, gently push the selector lever
back into the main gate (B).In sports mode, gear shifts can be
made rapidly simply by moving the
selector lever backward and forward.
For vehicles equipped with the shift
paddles, shift paddles at the steering
wheel can also be used to perform
gearshift. In contrast to a manual
transmission, the sports mode allows
gear shifts with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
NOTE If your vehicle is equipped with
the shift paddles, you can shift into
sports mode with shift paddles when
the selector lever is in the main gate as
well. Also, you can return to the “D”

required.
NOTE To maintain good running
performance, the transmission may
refuse to perform an upshift when the
selector lever or the shift paddles is
moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at
certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent
over-revving of the engine, the
transmission may refuse to perform a
downshift when the selector lever or the
shift paddles is moved to the “—
