Automatic Transmission
2367-6. Automatic TransmissionThe automatic transmission is electroni-
cally controlled and provides 6 forward
speeds and 1 reverse speed. It also has a
manual mode.
NOTEWhen the engine coolant tempera-
ture is still low, the transmission will
shift at higher engine speeds than
when the coolant temperature is suffi-
ciently high in order to shorten the
warm-up time and improve driveability.
The gearshift timing will automaticallyshift to the normal timing after the
engine has warmed up.
Immediately after transmission fluid
is replaced, you may feel that the trans-
mission operation is somewhat
unusual. This results from invalidation
of data which the on-board computer
has collected and stored in memory to
allow the transmission to shift at the
most appropriate times for the current
condition of your vehicle. Optimized
shifting will be restored as the vehicle
continues to be driven for a while.
Place the shift boot to the original
position after it is lifted. If the shift lever
is operated with the shift boot in the
rolled up position, the shift boot may
have tension and it may disturb the
shift lever operation.
When the vehicle is idling at high
rpm in order to warm up, and the
vehicle is on a slippery road, the trans-
mission may automatically shift to 2nd
gear for stopping and starting off.
WARNING
Do not shift from the “P” or “N”
position into the “D” or “R” position
while depressing the accelerator
pedal. This may cause the vehicle to
lurch forward or backward.
CAUTION
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to observe these
precautions could cause damage
to the transmission.
- Shift into the “P” or “R” posi-
tion only after the vehicle has
completely stopped.- Do not shift from the “D” posi- tion into the “R” position or
vice versa until the vehicle
has completely stopped.
Do not race the engine for more
than 5 seconds in any position
except the “N” or “P” position
when the brake is applied or when
chocks are used in the wheels.
This may cause the transmission
fluid to overheat.Never move the vehicle rearward
by inertia with the select lever set
in a forward driving position or
move the vehicle forward by
inertia with the select lever set in
the “R” position. Doing so may
result in an unexpected accident
or malfunction.When parking the vehicle, first
securely apply the parking brake
and then place the select lever in
the “P” position. Do not park for a
long time with the select lever in
any other position as doing so
could result in a dead battery.
