Automatic transaxle will automaticallychange its gear depe
nding on road and driv-
ing conditions. This
helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency.Also you can manually shift up and shiftdown the transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode”The transaxle prevents
unnecessary upshifts
even when the accelerator pedal is releasedand ensures smooth driving.According to the condi
tions, the transaxle
will automatically shift to a lower gear toachieve stronger engine braking. This mayhelp reduce your need to use the servicebrake.
N00513801424
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with an automatic transaxle have ashift-lock device that holds the selector leverin the “P” (PARK) position. To move theselector lever from the “P” (PARK) positionto another position, follow the steps below.1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.2. Move the selector lever to the desiredposition.
The transaxle has 6 forward gears and 1reverse gear.
