Starting and driving
NOTE
● On petrol-powered vehicles, the upward shift may be
made automatically in sports mode when the engine revo-
lutions rises and approaches the tachometer's red zone
(the red-coloured part of the tachometer dial).
● In sports mode, only the 5 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.
● To maintain good running performance, the transmission
may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever
is moved to the "+ (SHIFT UP)" position at certain vehi-
cle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine,
the transmission may refuse to perform a downshift when
the lever is moved to the "— (SHIFT DOWN)" position at
certain vehicle speeds.
● In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically
4
when the vehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st
gear is automatically selected.
● When driving away on a slippery road, push the selector
lever forward into the "+ (SHIFT UP)" position. This
causes the transmission to shift into the 2nd gear which is
better for smooth driving away on a slippery road. Push
the selector lever to the "— (SHIFT DOWN)" side to shift
back to the 1st gear.
