This is the normal forward driving
position. The transmission will auto-matically shift through a 8-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at which
time the transmission will automati-
cally downshift to the lower gear.
✽✽NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive).
Manual mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, sports mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate.
To return to D (Drive) range opera-
tion, push the shift lever back into the
main gate.
In manual mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will
allow you to make gearshifts rapidly.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear.

NOTICE
 In manual mode, the driver must execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, taking care
to keep the engine speed below the
red zone.
 In manual mode, only the 8 for- ward gears can be selected. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.
 In manual mode, downshifts are made automatically when the
vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automati-
cally selected.
 In manual mode, when the engine rpm approaches the red zone shift
points are varied to upshift auto-
matically.
 To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety,
the system may not execute cer-
tain gearshifts when the shift lever
is operated. (Continued)(Continued)
 When driving on a slippery road,
push the shift lever forward into
the +(up) position. This causes the
transmission to shift into the 2nd
gear which is better for smooth
driving on a slippery road. Push
the shift lever to the -(down) side
to shift back to the 1st gear.Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the automatic trans-
mission has a shift lock system
which prevents shifting the transmis-
sion from P (Park) into R (Reverse)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or press the Engine Start/Stop button in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever with pressing lock release button.
If the brake pedal is repeatedlydepressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chat-
tering noise near the shift lever may
be heard. This is a normal condition.
WARNING
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and while shifting
out of the P (Park) position into
another position to avoid inad-
vertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in
or around the car.

Driving your vehicle
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park). This posi-
tion locks the transmission and pre-
vents the drive wheels from rotating.
To shift the gear from [R], [N], [D] or
[M] to [P], press the [P] button on the
shift lever.
If you turn off the engine in [D], [R] or [M], the shifting automaticallychanges to [P].If you press the [P] button when the
shifting is on [M] or if you turn theengine off when the shifting is on [M],
the shift lever is automatically moved
to right side and the shifting ischanged to [P].
When the shift lever is automatically
moved to right side, if you hold the shift
lever by force, the warning message
will be illuminated in cluster. Move the
shift lever to right side manually.
When you park the vehicle, press the
[P] button of shift lever with applying
brake pedal and apply the parking
brake.
WARNING
Shifting into P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion will cause
the drive wheels to lock which
will cause you to lose control
of the vehicle.
Do not use the P (Park) posi- tion in place of the parking
brake. Always make sure the
shift lever is latched in the P
(Park) position and set the
parking brake fully.
Never leave a child unattend- ed in a vehicle.
CAUTION
The transmission may be dam-
aged if you shift into P (Park)while the vehicle is in motion.

ECO (ACTIVE ECO) MODE

enhances fuel efficiency through eco control of
the engine and trans-
mission. The actual fuelefficiency will depend on
personal driving style
and habits.
MODE button andselecting ECO MODE,
green ECO indicator
light will illuminate. ECO MODE Driving:
The vehicle engine and transmission
will operate in fuel economy oriented
mode.
ACTIVE ECO MODE system will
restrain fuel economy worsening
driving habits, such as suddenly
starts and accelerations, compare tothe NORMAL MODE.
Conditions that limit Active ECO MODE:
Below are a list of conditions in which
when in ACTIVE ECO MODE, the
indicator light will not change, but the
internal system may operate differ-
ently.
When engine coolant temperature
is low:
When temperature of the transaxle
oil is below the normal range, the
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable until the
transaxle oil heats up after vehicleignition.
When in an uphill gradient:
Since the ACTIVE ECO MODE
partially limits the engine torque,
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable when more
torque is essential for going uphill.
When using the manual transmis- sion operation mode:
If transmission operation is
changed from automatic to manual,
vehicle will reflect it and automati-
cally stop the ACTIVE ECO MODE.

SMART ECO MODE.
When the driver accelerates more
frequently, the right side of the driv-
ing style gauge will fill up, and shift
to SMART NORMAL MODE.
In addition, if the rate of accelera-
tion and speed is high, drive mode
will change to SMART SPORTMODE. If the auto cruise control function is
operated or the transmission is
shifted to manual mode while
SMART MODE is on, the SMART
MODE will stop temporarily, and
the DRIVE MODE will be displayed
as OFF. The driving style gauge
light will be turned off accordingly.
If the trip computer is not set to show DRIVE MODE indicator
screen, and you want to know the
on/off status of the SMART MODE,

Conditions which Limit SMART
MODE
In following conditions your vehicle will
temporarily stop the SMART Mode
and the indicator light will turn off.
When using the manual transmis- sion operation mode: If the
transaxle system is changed from
automatic to manual, your vehicle
will automatically stop the SMARTMODE.
If transmission operation is
changed from automatic to manu-
al, vehicle will reflect it and auto-
matically stop the SMART MODE.
When the Cruise Control system is turned on:
When the driver sets a target
cruise control speed, your vehicle
will automatically stop the SMART
MODE. (The SMART MODE will
stop not immediately after you
press the cruise control button, but
when the cruise control system
takes control of the vehicle speed.) If the temperature of the transaxle
oil is very high or low:
The SMART MODE control system
will operate in nearly all driving
conditions. But when the tempera-
ture of the transaxle oil is out of the
normal range, the SMART MODE
system may become temporarily
unavailable.
