Driving
Each time the shift lever or paddle
shift switches are operated, the
gear changes up or down one gear
and the selected gear, “1” through
“6”, will be set.
The selected gear, from M1 to M6,
will be fixed and displayed on the
meter.
When in manual mode, the gear
will not change unless the shift
lever or paddle shift switches
are operated.
However, even when in the
manual mode, the gears will be
automatically changed in the fol-
lowing situation:
When vehicle speed drops
(downshift only).
 When engine oil temperature
is high and engine speed
rises close to the red zone.
■Downshifting restriction warn-
ing buzzer
If downshifting operations are per-
formed at a vehicle speed by which
downshifting is not possible (when
downshifting will cause the engine
speed to enter the red zone), a
buzzer will sound to w arn the driver
that downshifting cannot be per-
formed.

■When changing the driving
mode (vehicles with an auto-
matic transmission)
When the driving mode is changed,
the sound of the active sound con-
trol will be stopped for approxi-
mately 1 second, this is not a

the parking brake, shift the shift
lever to P (automatic transmis-
sion) or N (manual transmission)
and make sure that the vehicle
does not move.
■Before driving

■Sounds and vibrations caused
by the ABS, brake assist, TRAC
and VSC systems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the
brake pedal is depressed repeat-
edly, when the engine is started or
just after the vehicle begins to
move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions
may occur when t he above sys-
tems are operating. None of these
indicates that a malfunction has
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate
slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is oper-
ated, a motor sou nd (whirring
sound) may be heard. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC
and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC
systems off, the systems will be automatically reactivated in the fol-
lowing situations:
●When the engine switch is turned
off.
●If only the TRAC sy
stem is turned
off, the TRAC will turn on when
vehicle speed is more than
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h).
If both the TRAC and VSC sys-
tems are turned o ff, automatic
reactivation will not occur when
vehicle speed increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the
EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem is reduced to prevent the sys-
tem from overheating when there is
frequent steering input over an
extended period o f time. The steer-
ing wheel may f eel heavy as a
result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the engine
off. The EPS system should return
to normal after a little while.
■Automatic deactivation of
“TRACK” mode
When the engine switch is turned off
after driving in “ TRACK” mode, the
mode is automatically deactivated.
