Basic Operation
Driving in AT mode
After starting the engine and letting it warm up, follow this
procedure:
1. With the shift select lever in neutral (N), release the parking
brake, but continue to press the brake pedal.
2. With the throttle closed, move the shift select lever into drive (D)
position.
3. Select AT mode by turning the AT/MT switch.
4. Release pressure from the brake pedal and increase engine speed
by gradually pressing the accelerator pedal.
Temporarily changing gears by operating the shift paddle while AT
mode is selected
You can temporarily change gears by operating the shift paddles
even while AT mode is selected.
When operating the shift paddles while AT mode is selected, the
"D" displayed in the gear position indicator changes to a gear
position number (1 – 3).
Because the gear change is temporary, the vehicle automatically
returns to normal AT mode under the following conditions:
• When the shift paddles are not operated for a prescribed time
• When the vehicle speed is reduced or increased beyond the
automatic shifting speed
Shift Limit:
During MT mode, downshifts may not be executed if it causes the
engine to exceed the rev limit.
