slopes, cornering, driving at high
elevations, or depressing the
accelerator pedal quickly while the gear
selector is in the DRIVE (D) position.
Depending on the road and driving
conditions/vehicle operations, gear
shifting could be delayed or not occur,
however, this does not indicate a
problem because the AAS mode will
maintain the optimum gear position.
Shift-Lock System
The shift-lock system prevents shifting
out of PARK (P) unless the brake pedal
is depressed.
To shift from PARK (P):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
mode.
3. Press and hold the lock-release
button on the gear selector.
4. Move the gear selector.
When the ignition is in the ACC or OFF
mode, the gear selector cannot be
shifted from PARK (P).
The ignition cannot be placed in the
OFF mode if the gear selector is not in
PARK (P).
Shift Lock Override
If the gear selector will not move from
PARK (P) using the proper shift
procedure, continue to press the brake
pedal and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the shift lock override cover
using a cloth wrapped flat head
screwdriver.
2. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool
into the Override Access Hole, and
push the override button down.
3. Push and hold the lock release
button on the gear selector and move
the gear selector.
4. Take the vehicle to an authorized
dealer.
For Some Models
Proceed as follows:
1. Push the lock release button on the
gear selector while also pushing down
on the Shift Lock Override button.
2. Move the gear selector.
3. Take the vehicle to an authorized
dealer.
Manual Shift Mode
The manual shift mode gives you the
feel of driving a manual transmission
vehicle by allowing you to operate the
gear selector manually.
This allows you to control engine rpm
and torque to the drive wheels much
like a manual transmission when more
control is desired.
To change to MANUAL (M) shift mode,
shift the gear selector from DRIVE (D) to
MANUAL (M). To return to automatic
shift mode, shift the gear selector from
MANUAL (M) to DRIVE (D).
You can shift between DRIVE (D) and
MANUAL (M) mode at any time, without
taking your foot off the accelerator.
