●When engine oil temperature is high and engine speed rises clos e
to the red zone.
■ When moving the shift lever out of P
If the shift lever is pushed sideways before the brake pedal is depressed,
shift lever operation may not be possible. Depress the brake pedal before
shifting the shift lever out of P.
■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
If downshifting operations are performed at a vehicle speed by which down-
shifting is not possible (when downshifting will cause the engi ne speed to
enter the red zone), a buzzer will sound to warn the driver that downshifting
cannot be performed.
■ When driving with cruise control activated
Downshifting can be performed even when using cruise control. A fter down-
shifting, the set speed continues. ( P. 181, 183)
■ Sport mode
●In sport mode, lower gears are used and gears change at a highe r
engine speed.
● If sport mode is changed to while the shift lever is in the M p osition, the
“SPORT” indicator will come on but sport mode controls will not be car-
ried out. Shift the shift lever to the D position.
● Sport mode cannot be changed to when driving with cruise contro l acti-
vated.
■ Snow mode
To prevent slipping, 1
st gear cannot be selected when in snow mode.

The AI-SHIFT automatically shifts the gear to the suitable posi tion according
to the driver performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D posi-
tion. (Operating the paddle shift switches or shifting the shif t lever to the M
position cancels the function.)
WARNING
■ When driving on slippery road surfaces
Be careful of downshifting and sudden acceleration, as this could result in
the vehicle skidding to the side or spinning.
■ To prevent incorrect operation
Do not attach items such as accessories to the paddle shift swi tches.

■Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the correct outside temperature ma y not be
displayed.
• When the vehicle is very hot, such as when under the sun.
• When the vehicle is idling or being driven at low speeds such as in a
traffic jam or when the engine is stopped and then restarted immedi-
ately afterward.
• When the actual outside temperature is outside of the indicato r range.
● If “  ” is displayed for approximately 1 minute or more or if the out side
temperature is not displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. Have

WARNING
■ The information displ ay at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the informa tion display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver's shifting and t he new shift
position number appearing on the display. In this case, wait un til the display
changes and take care not to downshift again, causing rapid and excessive
engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or s erious injury.
