Transmission high temperature
• Under certain conditions, such as
repeated stop-and-go launches on
steep grades, sudden take off or
acceleration, or other harsh driving
conditions, the transmission clutch
temperatures will increase exces-
sively. Finally the clutch in trans-
mission could be overheated.
• When the clutch is overheated, the
safe protection mode engages and
the gear position indicator on the
cluster blinks with a chime. At this
time, “Transmission temperature is
high! Stop safely” warning message
will appear on the LCD display and
driving may not be smooth.• If this occurs, pull over to a safe
location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes
and shift the vehicle to P (Park),
and allow the transmission to cool.
• If you ignore this warning, the driv-
ing condition may become worse.
You may experience abrupt shifts,
frequent shifts, or jerkiness. To
return to the normal driving condi-
tion, stop the vehicle and apply the
foot brake or shift into P (Park).
Then allow the transmission to cool
for a few minutes with engine on,
before driving off.
• When possible, drive the vehicle
smoothly.
Transmission overheated
• If the vehicle continues to be driv-
en and the clutch temperatures
reach the maximum temperature
limit, the "Transmission hot! Park
with engine On" warning will be
displayed. When this occurs the
clutch is disabled until the clutch
cools to normal temperatures.

The indicator in the instrument clus-
ter displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must
depress firmly on the brake pedal
and make sure your foot is off the
accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above
and still cannot shift the lever out
of P (Park), see "Shift-Lock
Release" in this chapter.
The shift lever must be in P (Park)
before turning the engine off.
•Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may
cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
•After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the shift
lever is in P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and turn the
engine off.
•When parking on an incline,
block the wheels to prevent
the vehicle from rolling down.
•For safety, always engage the
parking brake with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position
except for the case of emer-
gency parking.
•Do not use the P (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking
brake.

R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transmission if you shift into R
(Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart
a stalled engine, or if it is necessary
to stop with the engine ON. Shift into
P (Park) if you need to leave your
vehicle for any reason.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift
through a 8-gear sequence, providing
the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill, depress
the accelerator fully. The transmis-
sion will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear (or gears, as
appropriate).
To stop the vehicle during driving,
Please depress brake pedal fully to
prevent unintended movement.
NOTICE
•Do not shift gear unless your
foot is firmly on the brake
pedal. Shifting into gear when
the engine is running at high
speed can cause the vehicle
to move very rapidly. You
could lose control of the vehi-
cle and hit people or objects.
•Do not drive with the shift
lever in N (Neutral). The
engine brake will not work
and may lead to an accident.
WARNING
Always park the vehicle in P
(Park) for safety and engage the
parking brake.
CAUTION

Always make sure the vehicle is
stationary, at a complete stop,
before selecting D (Drive).
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.
Manual shift mode manages the driv-
ing dynamics by automatically adjust-
ing the steering effort, and the engine
and transmission control logic for
enhanced driver performance.
NOTICE
•Do not shift into gear unless
your foot is firmly on the
brake pedal. Shifting into gear
when the engine is running at
high speed can cause the
vehicle to move very rapidly.
You may lose control of the
vehicle and cause accidents.
•Do not drive with the shift
lever in N (Neutral). The
engine brake will not work
and may lead to an accident.

(Park) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
Shift-lock release
If the shift lever cannot be moved from
the P (Park) position into R (Reverse)
position with the brake pedal
depressed, continue depressing the
brake, and then do the following:
1. Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Push the shift-lock release button
(1).
4. Move the shift lever while pushing
the shift-lock release button.
5. Stop pushing the shift-lock release

• The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
• The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
• The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated, to improve fuel efficiency.Limitation of ECO mode opera-
tion:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in ECO indicator.
• When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
• When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
The system will be limited due to
the shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is
deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
