When returning to "D" (DRIVE) operation,
the selector lever position display will change
to "D" (DRIVE) position.
CAUTION
 Upward shifts do not take place automati-
cally in sports mode. The driver must make
upward shifts in accordance with prevailing
road conditions, making sure the engine rpm
remains below the red zone on the tachome-
ter.
 Repeated continuous operation of the spor-
tronic steering wheel paddle shifter will con-
tinuously switch shift position.
 Shift ranges may not change when the lateral
paddle shifters are operated at the same time.
NOTE
 Shift ranges can only be selected in a for-
ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse or
park the vehicle, move the selector lever to
the "R" or "P" position.
Continuously variable transmission (CVT) (if so equipped)
NOTE
 To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an
upshift when the 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 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.
 Downward shifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. Before the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.
Also, the vehicle will automatically return to
"D" (DRIVE) operation if the vehicle is
stopped.
 When the selector lever is in the "L" (LOW)
position, the sport mode is not selected even
if you operate the sportronic steering wheel
paddle shifter.
Sports mode display
In sports mode, the currently selected shift
range is displayed on the information screen
in the multi-information display.

Operation of the CVT
CAUTION
 Before selecting a position with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-
cle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the
CVT is engaged, especially when the engine
speed or idle speed is high, or with the air
conditioning operating.
Do not release the brake pedal until you are
ready to drive away.
 Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at
N00560901067
all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
 To prevent sudden acceleration, never run
the engine at high rpms when shifting from
the "P" (PARK) or "N" (NEUTRAL).
