DRIVING THE VEHICLE
6-Speed Manual Transmission
The manual transmission is a fully synchronised 6-forward and 1-reverse speed
transmission. To shift into reverse gear, raise and hold the slider ring, shift to the “R”
position, and release the slider ring. Only pull the slider ring up when shifting into reverse
gear.
Automatic Transmission Shift Mode
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
is electronically controlled and provides two
different driving mode combinations: normal
and manual or normal and low.
Normal Mode
When the select lever is in the “D” (Drive)
position, the transmission is in normal shift
mode. The select lever position indicator in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) shows “D”
and the transmission automatically shifts into a
suitable forward gear.
Low Mode(if equipped)
Low Mode is for using engine braking when
going downhill, etc. Moving the select lever left
into the “L” position from the “D” (Drive)
position causes the transmission to change into Low Mode. The shift position indicator
shows “L” as the selected gear.
Manual Mode(if equipped)
In manual mode, you select the desired gear position to obtain necessary acceleration and
engine braking. Move the select lever left from the “D” position into the “M” position to
select manual mode. The gear position indicator in the Combination Meter Display (CMD)
shows the currently selected gear. Arrow-shaped indicators show when upshifting or
downshifting is available. To shift, use the paddle shift control switches behind the steering
wheel.

System Operation
So that it can be used safely and comfortably, the Auto Start-Stop system is designed to
constantly monitor vehicle conditions, the environment inside and outside the vehicle, as
well as driver operations, in order to control stopping and restarting the engine.
After the vehicle has been completely stopped by depressing the brake pedal
with the select lever in the “D” position, the engine will be automatically
stopped and the green indicator will illuminate in the combination meter.
If you release the brake pedal with the select lever kept in the “D” position, the
engine will be automatically restarted. The indicator light will turn off when the system
restarts the engine.
There are several operating conditions for this system to operate as intended.
For more information, please refer to “Starting and Operating” in your Owner’s
Manual.
Auto Start-Stop Screen

bottom line. Displayed are the total stop time
and fuel saved since the trip meter was reset.
No Activity Detected Indicator Light
If the operational conditions are not met when the vehicle is stopped, the
engine will not stop and the white Auto Start-Stop No Activity Detected
indicator light will illuminate. It will turn off when the brake pedal is released.
