Driving your vehicle
CAUTION
Always park the vehicle in "P" (Park)
for safety and engage the parking
brake.
D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transmission will auto-
matically shift through a 8-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
WARNING
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive).
Manual mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, Manual mode is selected
by pushing the shift lever from the
D (Drive) position into the manual
gate. To return to D (Drive) range
operation, push the shift lever back
into the main gate.
OON058006NR
Manual mode manages the driving
dynamics by automatically adjusting
the steering effort, and the engine
and transmission control logic for
enhanced driver performance.
In Manual mode, moving the shift
lever backwards or forwards will
allow you to make gearshifts rap-
idly. In contrast to a manual trans-
mission, the Manual mode allows
gearshifts with the accelerator
pedal depressed.
Up (+): Push the lever forward
once to shift up one gear.
Down (-): Pull the lever backwards
once to shift down one gear.
NOTICE
In Manual mode, the driver must
execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, being careful
to keep the engine speed below
the red zone.
In Manual mode, only the 8 for-
ward gears can be selected. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.
In Manual mode, downshifts are
made automatically when the
vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is auto-
matically selected.
In Manual mode, when the engine
rpm approaches the red zone,
shift points are varied to upshift
automatically.
