Selector lever operation
As an additional safety precaution, models equipped with a
continuously variable transmission have a shift-lock device
that holds the selector lever in the "P" (PARK) position. To
move the selector lever from the "P" (PARK) position to
another position, follow the steps below.
1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.
2. Move the selector lever to the desired position.
NOTE
The selector lever cannot be moved from "P" (PARK) to
another position if the ignition switch is set to the
"LOCK" or "ACC" position, or if the key has been
removed, or if the brake pedal is not pressed and held
down.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automatically when the
selector lever is in the "D" (DRIVE) position, depending on the
N00560300022
speed of the vehicle and the position of the accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the main gate (B) and the
manual gate (C).
NOTE
There are 4 selector lever positions in the main gate.
For information on manual gate operation, please refer to
"Sports mode" on page 3-98.
