Manual shift mode
+ (UP) + (UP)
- (DOWN) - (DOWN)
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, Manual shift mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D (Drive)
position into the manual gate. To return
to D (Drive) range operation, push the
shift lever back into the main gate.
In Manual shift mode, moving the shift
lever backwards (B) and forwards (A) will
allow you to select the desired range of
gears for the current driving conditions.
+ (Up): Push the lever forward once to
shift up one gear.
- (Down): Pull the lever backwards once
to shift down one gear.
Information
• Only the four forward gears can be
selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.
• Downshifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.
• When the engine RPM approaches
the red zone the transaxle will upshift
automatically.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the intelligent variable
transmission (IVT) has a shif-tlock system
which prevents shifting the transmission
from P (Park) into R (Reverse) unless the
brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P (Park)
into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the ignition
switch in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
