When Driving
Transaxle
Gear position indicator
The numeral for the selected gear
illuminates.
Manual shift mode indicator
NOTE
If the gears cannot be shifted down when
l
driving at higher speeds, the gear position
indicator will flash twice to signal that the
gears cannot be shifted down (to protect the
transaxle).
If the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF)
l
temperature becomes too high, there is the
possibility that the transaxle will switch to
automatic shift mode, canceling manual
shift mode and turning off the gear position
indicator illumination. This is a normal
function to protect the AT. After the ATF
temperature has decreased, the gear
position indicator illumination turns back
on and driving in manual shift mode is
restored.
