damage the transmission and may lead to
an accident or injury. WARNINGS
You must move the transmission

start the engine with the transmission
selector lever in this position.
Note:
An audible warning will sound if you
open the driver's door and you have not
moved the transmission selector lever to
park.
R (Reverse) WARNING
You must only select
R when your
vehicle is stationary and the engine
is at idle speed. Selecting
R when
your vehicle is moving or at a high engine
speed will damage the transmission or
lead to an accident or injury. With the transmission selector lever in
R,
power is transmitted to the drive wheels
to allow your vehicle to move backward.
You cannot start the engine with the
transmission selector lever in this position.
Note: Always come to a complete stop
before shifting the transmission selector
lever out of reverse.

D (Drive)
With the transmission selector lever in D,
your vehicle will shift automatically
through the forward gears. You cannot
start the engine with the transmission
selector lever in this position.
The transmission will select the
appropriate gear for optimum vehicle
performance and economy based on
ambient temperature, road gradient,
vehicle load, speed and your driving style.
When you use Drive mode it provides a
downshift function. See Downshift in this
section.
Note: A shift will occur only when your
vehicle and engine speeds are appropriate.
Sport Mode and Manual Shifting
Sport Mode
With the transmission selector lever in
S,
gears are selected quicker and at higher
engine speeds. You cannot start the engine
with the transmission selector lever in this
position.
Sport mode will remain on until you either
shift manually up or down the gears using
the
+ or - buttons on the side of the
transmission selector lever or you move
the transmission selector lever to drive.
When you use Sport mode it provides a
downshift function. See Downshift in this
section.
Manual Shifting WARNING
Do not permanently hold the
+ or -
buttons in. This may damage the
transmission and may lead to an
accident or injury. Press the
+ button to shift up and the -
button to shift down. Gears may be skipped by pressing the + or
-
buttons repeatedly at short intervals.
We recommend you upshift according to
the following guide to achieve the best fuel
economy for your vehicle. Recommended
Speed
Shift From
15 mph (24 km/h)

Manual mode also provides a downshift
function. See
Downshift in this section.
Note: The transmission will automatically
upshift if the engine speed is too high or
downshift if the engine speed is too low.
Hints on Driving with an Automatic
Transmission WARNINGS
Do not apply the brake and
accelerator pedals simultaneously
for more than three seconds as this
limits engine rpm and labors the
transmission. This may make it difficult to
maintain speeds in traffic and lead to an
accident or injury. Do not idle the engine for long
periods of time in
D with the brakes
applied. This could damage the
transmission and may lead to an accident
or injury. Note:
The system carries out a series of
checks when you switch the ignition on and
off. You may hear clicking sounds. This is
normal.
