Auto Gear ShiftAuto Gear Shift is a 5-speed forward/
reverse transaxle.
Auto Gear Shift has the basic features of
conventional manual transaxle, but clutch
operation and transaxle gear shifting are
controlled electronically.
NOTE:
When you open the driver’s door, the Auto
Gear Shift systems run automatically and
you may hear an operating noise. This
sound does not indicate malfunction.The features are as follows:

Depress brake pedal indicator
76MH0A047
This light will come on if you do not
depress the brake pedal in the following
situations.
• When starting the engine.
• When the engine is on and the gearshift
lever is shifted from “N” position to “D”,
“M” or “R” position.
• When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position or the ignition mode is ON, and
the engine is off, the gearshift lever is
shifted into any position.
This light will also come on if one of the
gears cannot be engaged and the system
is unable to re-try shifting when you shift
the gearshift lever from “N” position to “D”,
“M” or “R” position.
NOTICE
Do not depress both the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal simultane-
ously. This can cause damage or
overheating to the clutch.

3-31OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
75RM4-01E
• The system will not allow shifting to the“R” position if the vehicle speed is over
about 3 km/h (2 mph). If the gearshift
lever is operated under this condition,
the “N” indicator in the instrument cluster
will blink. However, when the vehicle
speed drops below about 3 km/h (2
mph), the gear will be shifted to reverse.
Make sure that the vehicle has stopped
completely before shifting to the “R”
position. Stopping
The vehicle can be stopped by depressing
the brake pedal regardless of the gear
position. This is because the clutch is auto-
matically disengaged to prevent the engine
from stopping.
• If the gearshift lever is in the “D” position,
the gear will be downshifted to 1st when
the vehicle stops.
• If the gearshift lever is in the “M” posi- tion, the gear will be downshifted to 1st
when the vehicle stops.
NOTICE
On a downhill slope, never hold the
vehicle at a stop using only the accel-
erator pedal or the creeping function.
If you perform this operation for a
certain period of time, a warning
buzzer will sound, and in some cases
the engine will stall. This can also
cause excessive damage to the
clutch.
WA R N I N G
• When stopping, for example, at a
traffic light, be sure to depress the
brake pedal firmly. For your safety,
apply the parking brake, too, when
stopping on a hill.
• When racing the engine, make sure that the gear is in the “N” position
by checking the gear position indi-
cator. If the accelerator is operated
with the gear in any other position,
the vehicle may move resulting in
an unexpected accident.
• Do not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• When leaving the vehicle, stop the
engine and park the vehicle with a
gear engaged. If you need to leave
the vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brakes firmly,
and shift the gearshift lever to the
“N” position. Otherwise, the vehi-
cle may move unexpectedly and
may cause an accident.
NOTICE
• On a slope, never hold the vehicleat a stop using only the accelerator
pedal or the creeping function. If
you perform this operation for a
certain period of time, a warning
buzzer will sound, and in some
cases the engine will stall. This can
also cause excessive damage to
the clutch.
• If the gearshift lever is operated
more than necessary, the system
may not allow operation of the
gearshift lever for a certain period
of time, and the gear may not be
shifted appropriately. Therefore, do
not operate the gearshift lever if not
necessary.

tem”.
• During the automatic engine stop, the
engine may shut down, accompanied
by an interior buzzer or restarted, to
ensure safety.
For details, refer to the section, “Pre-
cautions of when the engine is
stopped automatically”.
NOTE:
• Engine auto stop function during decel- eration will be ready once the vehicle
runs at a speed exceeding 10 km/h
(6 mph) after restart of the engine.
• Even if the engine di d not stop automati-
cally before the vehicle came to a stop
(still traveling at approximately 15 km/h
(9 mph) or below), the engine may stop
automatically once the vehicle stops.
• If the engine stalled by a rapid clutch operation, the engine may restart when
the gearshift lever is in “N” (Neutral)
position, the clutch lever is depressed,
and other standby conditions are met.
NOTICE
Since models equipped with this sys-
tem use a lead-acid battery specifi-
cally for the high-efficiency ENG A-
STOP system, observe the following
precautions. Failure to observe these
precautions may result in a malfunc-
tion of the system or a shortened bat-
tery life.
• When replacing the battery, onlyuse the specified type. (Do not use
any other type of battery.)
• Do not power electrical accesso- ries from the battery terminals.
