Automatic transmission

The automatic transmission is electroni-
cally controlled and provides 5 forward
speeds and 1 reverse speed. Also, it has
a manual mode and a SPORT mode.
Do not shift from the "P" or "N" po-
sition into the "D" or "R" position
while depressing the accelerator
pedal. This may cause the vehicle to
jump forward or backward.
Shift into the "P" or "R" position
only after the vehicle is complete-
ly stopped. Shifting while the ve-
hicle is moving may cause dam-
age to the transmission.
Do not race the engine for more
than five seconds in any position
except the "N" or "P" position
when the brake is set or when
chocks are used in the wheels.
This may cause the automatic
transmission fluid to overheat.
Avoid shifting from one of the for-
ward driving positions into the
"R" position or vice versa until the
vehicle has completely stopped.
Such shifting may cause damage
to the transmission.
When parking the vehicle, first se-
curely apply the parking brake
and then place the selector lever
in the "P" position. Avoid parking
for a long time with the selector le-
ver in any other position as doing
so could result in a dead battery.
NOTE
When the engine coolant tempera-
ture is still low, your vehicle's automat-
ic transmission will up-shift at higher
engine speeds than when the coolant
temperature is sufficiently high in or-
der to shorten the warm-up time and
improve driveability. The gearshift tim-
ing will automatically shift to the nor-
mal timing after the engine has warmed
up.
Immediately after ATF (automatic
transmission fluid) is replaced, you
may feel that the automatic transmis-
sion operation is somewhat unusual.
This results from invalidation of data
which the on-board computer has col-
lected and stored in memory to allow
