tion, the gear steps will be automat-
ically changed if the engine speed
is too high, or too low.
■Gear step functions
●You can choose from 7 levels of
engine braking force.
●A lower gear step will provide greater
engine braking force than a higher
gear step, and the engine speed will also increase.
■When the vehicle comes to a stop
with the shift lever in the M position
●The transmission will automatically
downshift to M1 once the vehicle is
stopped.
●After a stop, the vehicle will start off in
M1.

■Continuously variable transmis- sion fail-safe control
The system detects malfunctioning parts
targeted (all of the solenoids that per- form the shifting function) by the
On-Board Diagnostics, and performs
fail-safe mechanisms, such as restrict- ing the shifting function or transmission
ratio control.
In this event, the malfunction indicator lamp turns on.
