Automatic Transaxle Controls

Various Lockouts:

Indicates that you must depress the brake pedal to shift (The ignition

switch must be in the ACC or ON position).

Indicates the shift lever can be shifted freely into any position.

The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic transaxle - giving the

driver the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the transaxle to shift gears. Even if

you intend to use the automatic transaxle functions as a traditional automatic, you should also be

aware that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode and an inappropriate gear may be

retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you notice the engine speed going higher or hear the

engine racing, confirm you have not accidentally slipped into manual shift mode (page 5-12).
