allows shifting with the accelerator pedal de-
pressed.
- (SHIFT DOWN) + (SHIFT UP)

+ (SHIFT UP)
The transmission shifts up once by each oper-
ation.
- (SHIFT DOWN)
The transmission shifts down once by each
operation.
To return to "D" (Drive) operation, pull the

selector lever position display will change to
"D" (Drive) position.
6-24 Starting and driving
CAUTION
l In sports mode, the driver must execute up-
ward shifts in accordance with prevailing
road conditions, taking care to keep the en-
gine speed below the red zone.
l Repeated continuous operation of the shift
paddles will continuously switch shift posi-
tion.
l Do not use the left- and right-hand shift pad-
dles at the same time. Doing so could cause
a shift of gear ratio that you do not expect.
NOTE
l The upward shift may be made automatical-
ly in sports mode when the engine revolu-
tions rises and approaches the tachometer's
red zone (the red-coloured part of the tach-
ometer dial).
l In sports mode, only the 6 forward gears can
be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the selector lever to the "R" (Reverse)
or "P" (Park) position as required.
l To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up-
shift when the shift paddle on the "+ (SHIFT
UP)" side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds.
Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine,
the transmission may refuse to perform a
downshift when the shift paddle on the "—
(SHIFT DOWN)" side is pulled at certain
vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer
sounds to indicate that a downshift is not go-
ing to take place.

l In sports mode, downward shifts are made
automatically when the vehicle slows down.

When the vehicle stops, 1 position is auto-
matically selected. Also, the vehicle will au-
tomatically return to "D" (Drive) operation
if the vehicle is stopped.
l When the selector lever is in the "L" (LOW)
position, the sports mode is not selected
even if you operate the shift paddle.
