GENERAL
SHIFT PATTERNS
Two shift patterns are pre-stored in the control unit of this
transaxle. One is the power pattern (for more powerful
performance), and the other is the normal pattern (for improved
fuel consumption and quieter operation). (Refer to the diagram
below.)
The driver can select and switch to the desired pattern by using
the power/normal select switch on the center console:
The solid lines shown in these shift patterns indicate up-shifts,
and the broken lines indicate down-shifts. The reason why there
is a difference between the shift points for up-shifts and for
down-shifts is so that up-shifts and down-shifts will not occur
frequently when driving at a speed in the vicinity of the shift
point.
When the vehicle is stopped, there is a shift to 2nd gear in order
to obtain a suitable "creeping", but when the accelerator pedal
is then depressed the vehicle starts off is 1st gear.
