Cylinder Deactivation*
▼Cylinder Deactivation
The cylinder deactivation is a function
designed to reduce fuel consumption
and improve fuel economy by
deactivating 2 out of the 4 cylinders
while driving. The function constantly
determines which is better for driving;
4 cylinders or 2 cylinders, regardless of
the driver's operations, and it performs
the switching automatically.
When the cylinder deactivation
function does not operate
The cylinder deactivation function
does not operate under the following
conditions.
xThe selector lever is in the P, N, or R
position (automatic transmission), or
1st gear (manual transmission).
xThe engine oil temperature or engine
coolant temperature is low.
xAfter disconnecting the battery
terminals for some reason, such as
for battery replacement.

Manual Transmission
Shift Pattern
▼Manual Transmission Shift Pattern
1. Neutral position

The shift pattern of the transmission is
conventional, as shown.

Depress the clutch pedal all the way
down while shifting; then release it
slowly.

Your vehicle is equipped with a device
to prevent shifting to R (reverse) by
mistake. Push the shift lever downward
and shift to R.

WARNING
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.
CAUTION
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 transmission.
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
transmission.
NOTE
xIf shifting to R is difficult, shift back
into neutral, release the clutch pedal,
and try again.
x(With M Hybrid)
When Driving
Manual Transmission Operation

The parking brake may be applied
automatically to prevent the vehicle
from moving if the engine stalls while
the vehicle is on a slope.
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.
▼Gear Shift Indicator (GSI)
The GSI supports you to obtain
optimum fuel economy and smooth
driving. It displays the selected gear
position in the instrument cluster as
well as
notifies the driver to change to
the most suitable gear position
corresponding to the actual driving
condition.

1. Selected gear position
2. Suitable gear position
Indication Condition
NumeralThe selected gear position is
displayed.
Indication Condition
and numer-
alShift up or down to the indi-
cated gear position is recom-
mended.
CAUTION
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.

Automatic Transmission
Controls
▼Automatic Transmission Controls
1. Lock-release button
2. Selector lever

Indication Various Lockouts
Indicates that you must depress
the brake pedal and hold in the
lock-release button to shift (The ig-
nition must be switched ON).
Indicates the selector lever can be
shifted freely into any position.
Indicates that you must hold in the
lock-release button to shift.
NOTE
The Sport AT has an option that is not
included in the traditional automatic
transmission that gives the driver the
option of selecting each gear instead of
leaving it to the transmission to shift
gears. Even if you intend to use the
automatic transmission 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 4-46).

Transmission Ranges
▼Transmission Ranges
xThe shift position indication in the
instrument cluster illuminates.
Refer to Shift Position Indication on
page 4-46.
xShift the selector lever to the P or N
position to start the engine.
P (Park)
P locks the transmission and prevents
the front wheels from rotating.
WARNING
Always set the selector lever to P
position and set the parking brake:
Only setting the selector lever to the P
position without using the parking
brake to hold the vehicle is dangerous.
If P fails to hold, the vehicle could
move and cause an accident.
CAUTION
¾Shifting into P, N or R while the
vehicle is moving can damage your
transmission.
¾Shifting into a driving gear or reverse
when the engine is running faster
than idle can damage the
transmission.
R (Reverse)
In position R, the vehicle moves only
backward. You must be at a complete
stop before shifting to or from R,
except under rare circumstances as
explained in Rocking the Vehicle (page
3-56).
N (Neutral)
In N, the wheels and transmission are
not locked. The vehicle will roll freely
even on the slightest incline unless the
parking brake or brakes are on.
WARNING
If the engine is running faster than
idle, do not shift from N or P into a
driving gear:
It's dangerous to shift from N or P into
a driving gear when the engine is
running faster than idle. If this is done,
the vehicle could move suddenly,
causing an accident or serious injury.
Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle:
Shifting into N while driving is
dangerous. Engine braking cannot be
applied when decelerating which
could lead to an accident or serious
injury.
CAUTION
Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle. Doing so can cause
transmission damage.
NOTE
Apply the parking brake or depress the
brake pedal before moving the selector
lever from N position to prevent the
vehicle from moving unexpectedly.
D (Drive)
D is the normal driving position. From
a stop, the transmission will
automatically shift through a 6-gear
sequence.
M (Manual)
M is the manual shift mode position.
Gears can be shifted up or down by
operating the selector lever.
Refer to Manual Shift Mode on page
4-46.
