position indicator in the instrument panel

illuminates.

Shift position indicator

Gear position indicator

NOTE

l

If the gears cannot be shifted down when

driving at higher speeds, the gear position

indicator will flash twice to signal that the

gears cannot be shifted down.

l

If the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF)

temperature becomes too high, there is the

possibility that the transaxle will switch to

automatic shift mode, canceling manual

shift mode and turning off the gear position

indicator illumination. This is a normal

function to protect the AT. After the ATF

temperature has decreased, the gear

position indicator illumination turns back

on and driving in manual shift mode is

restored.

Shifting

Manually Shifting up

(M1→M2→M3→M4→M5)

To shift up to a higher gear, tap the shift

lever back (

) once.

NOTE

l

When driving slowly, the gears may not

shift up depending on vehicle speed.

l

In manual shift mode, gears do not shift up

automatically. Do not run the engine with

the tachometer needle in the RED ZONE. If

the tachometer needle enters the RED

ZONE, you may feel engine-braking

because the fuel delivery will be stopped to

protect the engine. However, this does not

indicate an abnormality.

l

When depressing the accelerator fully, the

transaxle will shift to a lower gear,

depending on vehicle speed.
