CAUTION
!
In sports mode, the driver must execute upward
shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions,
taking care to keep the engine speed below the red
zone.
Repeated continuous operation of the selector lever
or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will
continuously switch shift position.
On vehicles with a sportronic steering wheel paddle
shifter, shift ranges may not change when the lateral
paddle shifters are operated at the same time.

NOTE
The upward shift may be made automatically in sports
mode when the engine revolutions rises and approaches
the tachometer's red zone (the red-colored part of the
tachometer dial).
Shift ranges can only be selected in a forward direction
from 1st to 6th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the
selector lever to the "R" or "P" position.
To maintain good running performance, the transmission
may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever
or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the
"+ (SHIFT UP)" position at certain vehicle speeds. Also,
to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission
may refuse to perform a downshift when the shift lever or
sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the "-
(SHIFT DOWN)" position at certain vehicle speeds.
When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a
downshift is not going to take place.
In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st
position is automatically selected.
