before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); except as explained in

engaged. The vehicle will roll freely even
on the slightest incline unless the parking
brake or service brakes are applied.

In Manual shift mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will allow
you to make gearshifts.

shift up one gear.

to shift down one gear.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• In Manual shift mode, the driver must
execute upshifts in accordance with
road conditions, taking care to keep
the engine speed below the red zone.
• In Manual shift mode, only the 6 for-
ward gears can be selected. To reverse
or park the vehicle, move the shift
lever to the R (Reverse) or P (Park)
- (DOWN)
position as required.
• In Manual shift mode, downshifts are
made automatically when the vehicle
slows down. When the vehicle stops,
1st gear is automatically selected.
• In Manual shift mode, when the
engine rpm approaches the red zone,
the transaxle will upshift automatical-
ORB050008
ly.
• To maintain the required levels of
vehicle performance and safety, the
system may not execute certain
gearshifts when the shift lever is oper-
ated.
• When driving on a slippery road,
move the shift lever to the Manual
shift mode and push the shift lever
forward into the + (up) position. This
causes the transaxle to shift into the
next upper gear which is better for
smooth driving on a slippery road.
Push the shift lever to the - (down)

gear.
