Basic Operation
Selecting a AT/MT Mode
Your Honda SXS has 2 transmission modes: AT mode and MT mode.
AT mode:
This mode automatically shifts the gears with optimal timing
according to your driving conditions.
You can temporarily shift up or down by operating the shift paddles
while driving in AT mode. The shifted gear will be shown on the gear
position indicator.
MT mode:
In this mode, the gears are shifted manually through shift paddle
operation.
• Pulling the shift paddle does not continuously shift the gears. To
continue shifting, release your fingers from the shift paddle, and
then pull the shift paddle again.
• The gears do not shift up automatically in MT mode. Do not allow
the engine to exceed the rev limit.
• The gears shift down automatically when you slow down, even in
MT mode.
• You will start from 1st gear when MT mode is selected.
For details on shift paddles operation in MT mode, see page 96.
When using the AT/MT switch to switch between AT mode and MT
mode, be sure the shift select lever is in the high-range (H) or low-
range (L) position.
Selecting SPORT Mode
SPORT mode:
When using the SPORT switch, shift the shift select lever to the high-
range (H) position, and select AT mode. When SPORT mode is turned
on, the SPORT indicator comes on.
In SPORT mode, high engine revolutions is used compared to normal
AT mode.
