Sequential manual transmission

driving tips

(Models equipped with Sequential Manual
Transmission only)
The sequential manual transmission is a 5- speed forward/
reverse transmission. With the basics of the traditional
manual transmission, the clutch operation and transmission
shifting is controlled electronically. Unlike automatic trans-
missions, this system does not upshift automatically at the
time of acceleration.
To understand the unique system and operation method of
the sequential manual transmission, read Section 1- 6 on
page 77 thoroughly before driving. For starting procedures,
see "How to start the engine— " on page 140 in Section 3.
Please refer to the "Important Information For Your
Sequential Manual Transmission" equipped in your vehicle
as well.
