Press the shift button, then move shift lever.
Depress the brake pedal, press the shift button, and then move shift lever.
Move shift lever.
Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) Operation
The Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) automatically shifts depending on speed,
accelerate pedal position. The individual speeds are selected automatically, depending
on the position of the shift lever.

D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift,
providing the best fuel economy and
power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill depress the
accelerator pedal further until you feel
the transmission downshift to a lower
gear.
The DRIVE MODE switch, located on the
shift lever console, allows the driver to
switch from NORMAL mode to SPORT
mode.
For more details, refer to "Drive Mode
Integrated Control System" later in this
chapter.

OQX069002L
Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, manual shift mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D (Drive)
position into the manual gate. To return
to D (Drive) range operation, push the
shift lever back into the main gate.
In manual shift mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will allow
you to select the desired range of gears
for the current driving conditions.
+ (Up): Push the lever forward once to
shift up one gear.
- (Down): Pull the lever backwards once
to shift down one gear.
Information
• Only the eight forward gears can be
selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.
• Downshifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.
• When the engine rpm approaches the
red zone the transmission will upshift
automatically.
• If the driver presses the lever to + (Up)
or - (Down) position, the transmission
may not make the requested gear
change if the next gear is outside of the
allowable engine rpm range. The driver
must execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, taking care to
keep the engine rpms below the red
zone.
• When accelerating from a stop on
a slippery road, push the shift lever
forward into the + (Up) position. This
allows the transmission to shift into the
2nd gear which is better for smooth
driving on a slippery road. Push the
shift lever to the - (Down) side to shift
back to the 1st gear.
• When driving in Manual Shift Mode,
slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged if the engine rpms are
outside of the allowable range.
06
6-29
SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting
the steering effort, and the
engine and transmission
control logic for enhanced
driving performance.
• When SPORT mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE button, the
SPORT indicator will illuminate.
• Whenever the engine is restarted,
the Drive Mode will revert back to
NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode from
the DRIVE MODE button.
• When SPORT mode is activated:
-The engine rpm will tend to remain
a little higher for a brief time even
after releasing the accelerator. This
is a typical when the SPORT mode is
activated.
-Upshifts are delayed when
accelerating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency may
decrease.
SNOW mode
SNOW mode offers special traction tuning for snow
optimizing available traction
in adverse conditions.
Traction mode adjusts
left and right wheel slip
control, engine torque and
shift patterns according to
available traction levels.
WARNING
Traction mode is designed base on
2WD (2 Wheel Drive), Do not drive in
condition that exceed the vehicles
intended design.
Invalid mode selection can lead to loss
of traction and skidding, particularly
on slippery roads, this can cause you to
lose control of the vehicle, which can
lead to accidents and serious injuries.
While Driving
6-82
• Push the toggle switch down (SET-)
and release it immediately. The
cruising speed will decrease 1.0 MPH
(1.6 km/h) each time the toggle switch
is operated in this manner.
• Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the toggle switch down (SET-).
To temporarily accelerate with the
Cruise Control ON
Depress the accelerator pedal. When you
take your foot off the accelerator, the
vehicle will return to the previously set
speed.
If you push the toggle switch down (SET-)
at the increased speed, the Cruise Control
will maintain the increased speed.
Cruise Control will be canceled when:
OQX069075N
• Depressing the brake pedal.
• Pressing the CANCEL button located
on the steering wheel.
• Pressing the CRUISE button. Both the
cruise indicator and the "SET" indicator
will turn OFF.
• Moving the shift lever into N (Neutral).
(for automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission vehicle)
• Decreasing the vehicle speed to less
than approximately 20 MPH (30 km/h).
• The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is
operating.
• Downshifting to the 2nd gear in
manual shift mode. (for intelligent
variable transmission vehicle)
Information
Each of the above actions will cancel
Cruise Control operation (the "SET"
indicator in the instrument cluster will go
off), but only pressing the CRUISE button
will turn the system off. If you wish to
resume Cruise Control operation, push the
toggle switch up (RES+) located on your
steering wheel. You will return to your
previously preset speed, unless the system
was turned off using the CRUISE button.
To resume preset Cruising speed
OQX069072L
Push the toggle switch up (RES+). If the
vehicle speed is over 20 MPH (30 km/h),
the vehicle will resume the preset speed.
To turn Cruise Control off

• Press the CRUISE button (the cruise
indicator light will go off).
• Turn the vehicle OFF.
Maintenance
8-6
While operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of the
exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.
• Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any increased
steering effort or looseness in the
steering wheel, or change in its
straight-ahead position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns
slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling on smooth, level road.
• When stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission occurs,
check the transmission fluid level.
• Check the intelligent variable
transmission P (Park) function.
• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
• Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the brake lights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.

tires including the spare for tires that
are worn, show uneven wear, or are
damaged.
• Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year:
(i.e., every Spring and Autumn)
• Check radiator, heater and air
conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
• Check windshield washer spray and
wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with a clean cloth dampened with
washer a fluid.
• Check headlamp alignment.
• Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields
and clamps.
• Check the seat belts for wear and
function.
At least once a year:
• Clean body and door drain holes.
