The light illuminates continuously
when the engine coolant tempera-
ture is low and turns off after the
engine is warm.

sufficiently warmed up, the tem-
perature sensor could have a mal-

Automatic Transaxle Controls
Various Lockouts:
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 auto-
matic 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 acciden-
tally slipped into manual shift mode (→P. 168).
Lock-release button

the lock-release button to shift (The ignition must be
switched ON).

nates and the numeral for the selected gear is displayed.

complete stop before shifting to or from R, except under rare cir-
cumstances as explained in Rocking the Vehicle ( →P. 129).

In N, the wheels and transaxle are not locked. The vehicle will roll
freely even on the slightest in cline unless the parking brake or
brakes are on.
Apply the parking brake or depress the brake pedal before moving the
selector lever from N to prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly.

When Driving
Active Adaptive Shift (AAS) automatically controls the transaxle shift
points to best suit the road conditions and driver input. This improves
driving feel. The transaxle may switch to AAS mode when driving up
and down slopes, cornering, driving at high elevations, or depressing
the accelerator pedal quickly while t he selector lever is in the D posi-
tion. Depending on the road and dr iving conditions/vehicle operations,
gear shifting could be delayed or not occur, however, this does not
indicate a problem because the AAS mode will maintain the optimum
gear position.
The shift-lock system prevents shifting out of P unless the brake pedal
is depressed.
To shift from P:
Depress and hold the brake pedal.
Start the engine.
Press and hold the lock-release button.
Move the selector lever.
● When the ignition is switched to ACC or the ignition is switched off, the
selector lever cannot be shifted from P.
● The ignition cannot be switched to OFF if the selector lever is not in P.
