Always adjust the display brightness and position with the vehicle stopped:
Adjusting the display brightness and position while driving the vehicle is dangerous as doing
so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an accident.

¾Do not place beverages near the active driving display. If water or other liquids are splashed
on the active driving display, it could cause damage.
¾Do not place objects above the active driving display or apply stickers to the dust-proof
sheet/optical receiver as they will cause interference.
¾A sensor is integrated to control the display's luminosity. If the optical receiver is covered,
the display's luminosity will lower making the display difficult to view.
¾Do not allow intense light to hit the optical receiver. Otherwise, it could cause damage.
NOTE
xWearing polarized sunglasses will reduce the visibility of the active driving display due to
the characteristics of the display.
xIf the battery has been removed and re-installed or the battery voltage is low, the adjusted
position may deviate.
xThe display may be difficult to view or temporarily affected by weather conditions such as
rain, snow, light, and temperature.
xIf the audio system is removed, the active driving display cannot be operated.

Do not use sudden engine braking on
slippery road surfaces or at high speeds:
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy,
or frozen roads, or while driving at high
speeds causes sudden engine braking,
which is dangerous. The sudden change in
tyre speed could cause the tyres to skid.
This could lead to loss of vehicle control
and an accident.
Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R
position and set the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle unattended:
Otherwise the vehicle could move and
cause an accident.
&$87,21
¾Keep your foot off the clutch pedal except
when shifting gears. Also, do not use the
clutch to hold the vehicle on an upgrade.
Riding the clutch will cause needless
clutch wear and damage.
¾Do not apply any excessive lateral force
to the shift lever when changing from
5th to 4th gear. This could lead to the
accidental selection of 2nd gear, which
could result in damage to the transaxle.
¾Make sure the vehicle comes to a
complete stop before shifting to R.
Shifting to R while the vehicle is still
moving may damage the transaxle.
NOTE
xIf shifting to R is difficult, shift back into
neutral, release the clutch pedal, and try
again.

x(With i-stop function)
If the engine has stopped due to stalling,
it can be restarted by depressing the
clutch pedal within 3 seconds of the
engine stopping.
The engine cannot be restarted even if
the clutch pedal is depressed under the
following conditions:
xThe driver's door is open.
xThe driver's seat belt is unfastened.
xThe clutch pedal is not released
completely after the engine stalled.
xThe clutch pedal is depressed with the
engine not stopped completely.
x(With parking sensor system)
When the shift lever is shifted to the R
position with the ignition switched ON,
the parking sensor system is activated
and a beep sound is heard.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page
4-306.

Do not rely solely on the shift-up/
shift-down recommendations by
indications. The actual driving situation
might require shift operations different
from indication. To avoid the risk of
accidents, the road and traffic conditions
have to be judged correctly by the driver
before shifting.
NOTE
The GSI turns off when the following
operations are performed.
xThe vehicle is stopped.
xThe vehicle is put in neutral.
xThe vehicle is driven in reverse.
xThe clutch is not fully engaged when
accelerating from a stop.
xThe clutch pedal remains depressed for
2 seconds or longer while driving.

Lock-release button
Indicates the selector lever can be shifted freely into any position.
Indicates that you must hold in the lock-release button to shift. Indicates that you must depress the brake pedal and hold in the lock-release
button to shift (The ignition must be switched ON). Various Lockouts:
NOTE
The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic transaxle that
gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the transaxle to
shift gears. Even if you intend to use the automatic transaxle functions as a traditional
automatic, you should also be aware that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode
and an inappropriate gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you notice the
engine speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm you have not accidentally
slipped into manual shift mode (page 4-86).
