depressed to move the gearshift
lever.
The gearshift lever will move
without pulling up the pull-ring
(D).
The pull-ring (D) must be pulled

Twin Clutch SST (Sportronic Shift Transmission) (if so equipped)
WARNING
If the pull-ring is always pulled up when
using the gearshift lever, the gearshift
lever may be accidentally shifted into the
"P" (PARK) or "R" (REVERSE) position.
Do not pull up the pull-ring when making
shifts shown by
in the illustration.
Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the gearshift lever into the other
position from the "P" (PARK) or "N"
(NEUTRAL) position.
When beginning to drive, do not shift the
gearshift lever from the "P" (PARK) or
"N" (NEUTRAL) position while depress-
ing the accelerator pedal. Doing so is dan-
gerous because the vehicle will "jump"
forward or backward.
NOTE
For a shift indicated by
in the illustration,
depress the brake pedal before moving the
gearshift lever. If you attempt to move the
gearshift lever before depressing the brake
pedal, the gearshift lever will be immovable.
Do not accelerate immediately after moving
the gearshift lever. It may take some time for
the transmission to shift to the selected gear.
When the gearshift lever is operated when
the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature is
low, the time required to shift to the selected
gear may be longer than usual.
Gearshift lever position display
When the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position, the gearshift lever position is
shown on the multi-information display.
In addition, when the vehicle is driven with
the gearshift lever in the "D" (DRIVE) posi-
tion, the forward gear number is shown.
