CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMIS-
SION (CVT)
MEVT33A1-C699DF0B-987D-4AD2-879E-72829424A200
The CVT in your vehicle is electronically controlled
to produce maximum power and smooth opera-
tion.
The recommended operating procedures for this
transmission are shown on the following pages.
Follow these procedures for maximum vehicle
performance and driving enjoyment.
Engine power may be automatically reduced to
protect the CVT if the engine speed increases
quickly when driving on slippery roads or while
being tested on some dynamometers.
WARNING
* Do not depress the accelerator pedal while
shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R
(Reverse), D (Drive), or “M” (Manual shift
mode). Always depress the brake pedal
until shifting is completed. Failure to do so
could cause you to lose control and have
an accident.
* Cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting into a forward or
reverse gear before the engine has
warmed up.
* Do not downshift abruptly on slippery
roads. This may cause a loss of control.
* Never shift to either the P (Park) or R
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is
moving forward and P (Park) or D (Drive)
position while the vehicle is reversing. This
could cause an accident or damage the
transmission.
* Except in an emergency, do not shift to the
N (Neutral) position while driving. Coasting
with the transmission in the N (Neutral)
position may cause serious damage to the
transmission.
CAUTION
* To avoid possible damage to your vehicle,
when stopping the vehicle on an uphill
grade, do not hold the vehicle by depres-
sing the accelerator pedal. The footbrake
should be used for this purpose.
* Do not hang items on the shift lever. This
may cause an accident due to a sudden
start.
Starting the vehicle

1. After starting the engine, fully depress the
footbrake pedal before attempting to place
the shift position out of the P (Park) position.
This CVT is designed so that the footbrake
pedal must be depressed before shifting
from P (Park) to any driving position while
the ignition switch is in the ON position. The
shift position cannot be placed out of the P
(Park) position and into any of the other
positions if the ignition switch is placed in
the “OFF” position.
2. Keep the footbrake pedal depressed and move
the shift lever into a driving position.
