Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is
selected by gently pushing the selector lever from the "D"
(DRIVE) position into the manual gate (A). To return to "D"
range operation, gently push the selector lever back into the
main gate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rapidly simply by mov-
ing the selector lever backward and forward. In contrast to a
manual transmission, the sports mode allows gear shifts with
the accelerator pedal depressed.

SHIFT DOWN
CAUTION
!
● In sports mode, the driver must execute upward
shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions,
taking care to keep the engine speed below the red
zone.
● By rapidly moving the selector lever backward
(SHIFT DOWN) twice, it is possible to skip one gear,
i.e., 3rd to 1st, 4th to 2nd or 5th to 3rd. Since sudden
engine braking and/or rapid acceleration can cause
a loss of traction, however, downshifts must be made
carefully in accordance with the vehicle's speed.
