range is displayed on the information screen
in the multi-information display.
N00560801109
1-
(SHIFT UP)
Transmission shifts up once by each
operation.
2-
(SHIFT DOWN)
Transmission shifts down once by each
operation.
CAUTION
In sports mode, the driver must execute
upward shifts in accordance with prevailing
road conditions, taking care to keep the
engine speed below the tachometer’s red
zone.
Repeated continuous operation of the selec-
tor lever or the sportronic steering wheel
paddle shifter will continuously switch shift
position.
Shift ranges may not change when the lateral
paddle shifters are operated at the same time.
NOTE
Shift ranges can only be selected in a for-
ward direction from 1st to 8th. To reverse or
park the vehicle, move the selector lever to
the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi-
tion.
To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an
upshift when the selector lever or the spor-
tronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the
“ (SHIFT UP)” side is pulled at certain
vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving
of the engine, the transmission may refuse to
perform a downshift when the selector lever
or the sportronic steering wheel paddle
shifter on the “ (SHIFT DOWN)” side is
pulled at certain vehicle speeds. When this
happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a
downshift is not going to take place.
Downward shifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. Before the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.
The upward shift may be made automatically
in sports mode when the engine speed rises
and approaches the tachometer’s red zone.

Operation of the CVT
CAUTION
Before selecting a position with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-
cle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the
CVT is engaged, especially when the engine
speed or idle speed is high, or with the air
conditioning operating.
Do not release the brake pedal until you are
ready to drive away.
Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at
all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
To prevent sudden acceleration, never run
the engine at high revolutions when shifting
from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
