Transmission
Neutral (N)
In this position, power is not transmitted
to the driven wheels but the transmission
is not locked. You can start the engine with
the gearshift lever in this position.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position for
the best fuel economy and smoothness.
Shift the gearshift lever to drive (D) to
allow your vehicle to move forward and
shift automatically through the forward
gears.
The transmission will shift to the
appropriate gear for optimum performance
based on ambient temperature, road
gradient, vehicle load and your input.
Sport (S)
Switch on sport mode by shifting the
gearshift lever to sport (S). In Sport mode
the transmission will select the optimum
gear for best performance. This gear
selection is typically lower than that of
drive (D) and the shifts are faster.
SelectShift Automatic
Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift
Automatic transmission gearshift lever.
The SelectShift Automatic transmission
gives you the ability to change gears up or
down as desired.
In order to prevent the engine from running
at too low an RPM, which may cause it to
stall, SelectShift still automatically makes
some downshifts if it has determined that
you have not downshifted in time.
Although SelectShift makes some
downshifts for you, it still allows you to
downshift at any time as long as the
SelectShift determines that damage will
not be caused to the engine from
over-revving
