When driving
However, even when in manual mode, the gears will be automatically
changed in the following situations:
●When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
●When engine oil temperature is high and engine speed rises close
to the red zone.
■When moving the select lever out of P
If the select lever is pushed sideways before the brake pedal is depressed,
select lever operation may not be possible. Depress the brake pedal before
shifting the select lever out of P.
■Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
If downshifting operations are performed at a vehicle speed by which down-
shifting is not possible (when downshifting will cause the engine speed to
enter the red zone), a buzzer will sound to warn the driver that downshifting
cannot be performed.
■When driving with cruise control activated
Downshifting can be performed even when using cruise control. After down-
shifting, the set speed continues. (oP. 184, 186)
■Sport mode
●In sport mode, lower gears are used and gears change at a higher
engine speed.
●If sport mode is changed to while the select lever is in the M position, the
“SPORT” indicator will come on but sport mode controls will not be car-
ried out. Shift the select lever to the D position.
●Sport mode cannot be changed to when driving with cruise control acti-
vated.
■Snow mode
To prevent slipping, 1
st gear cannot be selected when in snow mode.
■Sport mode and snow mode automatic deactivation
In the following situations, the driving mode is automatically deactivated:
●When the engine is turned off after driving in sport mode or snow mode.
●When cruise control is activated while driving in sport mode.

immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it
has cooled completely. (oP. 458)
