When Driving
Manual Transaxle Operation
The shift pattern of the transaxle
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.
If shifting to R is difficult, shift back into neutral, release the clutch pedal, and
try again.

Neutral position
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 tire speed could cause the tires 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 par king brake
when leaving the vehicle unattended
Otherwise the vehicle could move and cause an accident.

■Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy traffic or on a steep upgrade,
downshift before the engine starts to overwork. This reduces the
chance of stalling and gives bet ter acceleration when you need
more speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting helps maintain safe speed
and prolongs brake life.

When Driving
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 ge ar 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 shoul d 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 not ice the engine
speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm you have not acciden-
tally slipped into manual shift mode ( P. 185).
Lock-release button
Indicates that you must depress the brake pedal and hold in
the lock-release button to shift (The ignition 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.

The selector position is indicated
when the ignition is switched ON.
■Gear position indication
In manual shift mode, the “M” of the shift position indication illumi-
nates and the numeral for the selected gear is displayed.
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on P. 173.
• The shift position indicator light in the combination meter il lumi-
nates. Refer to Warning/I ndicator Lights on P. 173.
• The selector lever must be in P or N to operate the starter.
■P (Park)
P locks the transaxle and prevent s the front wheels from rotating.
■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 c ir-
cumstances as explained i n Rocking the Vehicle (P. 145).
■N (Neutral)
In N, the wheels and transaxle a re not locked. The vehicle will roll
freely even on the slightest inc line unless the parking brake o r
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 unexpe ctedly.

When Driving
■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 P. 185.
WARNING
■ Always set the selector lever to P and set the parking brake wh en park-
ing
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.
■ 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 th e engine is run-
ning faster than idle. If this is done, the vehicle could move suddenly, caus-
ing an accident or serious injury.
■ Do not shift into N when driving the vehicle
Shifting into N while driving is dangerous. Engine braking cann ot be applied
when decelerating which could lead to an accident or serious in jury.
NOTICE
●Shifting into P, N or R while the vehicle is moving can damage your tran-
saxle.
● Shifting into a driving gear or reverse when the engine is runn ing faster
than idle can damage the transaxle.
● Do not shift into N when driving the vehicle. Doing so can cause transaxle
damage.

3-3. Transaxle
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 the selector lever is in th e D posi-
tion. Depending on the road and driving conditions/vehicle oper ations,
gear shifting could be delayed or not occur, however, this does not
indicate a problem because the AAS mode will maintain the optim um
gear position.
The shift-lock system prevents s hifting 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 switche d off, the
selector lever cannot be shifted from P.
● The ignition cannot be switched to OFF if the selector lever is not in P.
