When Driving

Transaxle

NOTE

y

If the gears cannot be shifted down

when driving at higher speeds, the gear

position indication will ﬂ ash twice to

signal that the gears cannot be shifted

down (to protect the transaxle).

y

If the automatic transaxle ﬂ uid (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 indication

illumination. This is a normal function

to protect the automatic transaxle. After

the ATF temperature has decreased, the

gear position indication illumination

turns back on and driving in manual

shift mode is restored.

Shifting

You can shift gears up and down by

operating the selector lever or the steering

shift switches

*

.

Manually Shifting up

(M1 ĺ M2 ĺ M3 ĺ M4 ĺ M5 ĺ M6)

To shift up to a higher gear, move the

selector lever back (

) once.

NOTE

y

When driving slowly, the gears may not

shift up.

y

In manual shift mode, do not run the

engine with the tachometer needle in

the RED ZONE. When the engine rpm is

high, a gear may shift up automatically

to protect the engine.

y

When depressing the accelerator fully,

the transaxle will shift to a lower gear,

depending on vehicle speed.

Manually Shifting down

(M6 ĺ M5 ĺ M4 ĺ M3 ĺ M2 ĺ M1)

To shift down to a lower gear, move the

selector lever forward (

) once.

WARNING

Do not use engine braking on slippery

road surfaces or at high speeds:

Shifting down while driving on wet,

snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving

at high speeds causes sudden engine

braking, which is dangerous. The

sudden change in tire speed could

cause the tires to skid. This could

lead to loss of vehicle control and an

accident.
