lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R”
(REVERSE) position.
This occurs because the transaxle has not
warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a
problem. If this occurs, place the selector
lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the
engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be
able to start normally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up
operation.

The CVT will automatically and continuously
change its gear ratio depending on road and
driving conditions. This helps achieve
smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
Also you can manually shift the transmission
up and down. Refer to “Sports mode” on page
5-67.
The transmission prevents unnecessary
upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is
released and ensures smooth driving.
According to the conditions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratio
to achieve stronger engine braking. This may
help reduce your need to use the service
brake.

As an additional safety precaution, models
equipped with a CVT have a shift-lock device
that holds the selector lever in the “P”
(PARK) position. To move the selector lever
from the “P” (PARK) position to another
position, follow the steps below.
1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.
2. Press and hold the lock button.
3. Move the selector lever to the desired
position.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati-
cally when the selector lever is in the “D”
(DRIVE) position, depending on the speed of
the vehicle and the position of the accelerator
pedal.
The selector lever (A) has two gates; the main
gate (B) and sports mode gate (C).
Turbocharger operation
CAUTION
Do not run the engine at high speeds (for
example, by revving it or by accelerating
rapidly) immediately after starting it.
Do not stop the engine immediately after
high-speed or uphill driving. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.
Replace the engine oil at the specified inter-
vals. If the engine oil is not replaced, the tur-
bocharger could malfunction.

NOTE
The selector lever cannot be moved from “P”
(PARK) to other position if the ignition
switch is set to the “OFF” or “ACC” posi-

the brake pedal is not pressed and held down.
