! N (Neutral)
This position is for restarting a stalled
engine. In this position, the transmission is
neutral, meaning that the wheels and
transmission are not locked. Therefore,
the vehicle will roll freely, even on the
slightest incline unless the parking brake
or foot brake is applied.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
select lever in the N (neutral)
position. Engine braking has no
effect in this condition and the risk
of an accident is consequently in-
creased.
NOTE
If the select lever is in the N position
when you stop the engine for parking,
you may not subsequently be able to
move it to the R and P positions. If
this happens, turn the ignition switch to
the ON position. You will then be able
to move the select lever to the P
position.
! D (Drive)
This position is for normal driving. The
transmission shifts automatically and con-
tinuously into a suitable gear according to
the vehicle speed and the acceleration you
require. Also, while driving up and down a
hill, the transmission assists and controls
the driving performance and engine brak-
ing while corresponding to the road grade.
When more acceleration is required in the
D position, depress the accelerator pedal
fully to the floor and hold that position. The
transmission will automatically downshift.
If the Intelligent (I) mode or the Sport (S)
mode has been selected, the transmission
will operate like a conventional automatic
transmission. When you release the pedal,
the transmission will return to the original
gear position.
If you operate one of the shift paddles
behind the steering wheel while driving in
the D position, the t ransmission will
temporarily switch to the manual mode.
In this mode, you can shift into any gear
position using the shift paddles. For details
about the manual mode, refer to Selection
of manual mode F7-25. Once the vehicle
speed stabilizes, the transmission will
switch from the manual mode back to the
D position for normal driving.
& Selection of manual mode
With the vehicle either moving or station-
ary, move the select lever from the D
position to the M position to select the
manual mode.
