To  maintain  the  required levels  of  ve-
hicle  performance and  safety,  the sys-
tem may  not execute  certain gearshifts
when the  selector lever  is operated.
Before  driving  away from  a  stop  on  a
slippery  road,  push  the  selector  lever
forward  into   the  +(UP)  position.  This
causes  the  transaxle  to  shift into  2nd
gear which  is better for  smooth driving
away on a slippery road. Push the selec-
tor  lever  to  the  -(DOWN)  side  to  shift
back to  1st gear.

In sports mode, The driver must execute
CAUTION:
shifts in accordance with prevailing road
conditions, taking  care  to keep  the en-
gine speed  below the red  zone. For en-
gine protection, upward shifts are  made
automatically    when   the  engine   rpm
reaches the  red zone.
o
o
Shift into "R" and "P" position only when
the  vehicle has  completely stopped.
Do not  accelerate the engine in  reverse
or any of  the forward positions with the
brakes  applied.
o
o
Always apply  the footbrake  when shift-
ing from "P" or "N", to "R" or "D"position.
Do  not  use  the  "P"  (Park)  position  in
place of   the parking  brake. Always  set
the  parking  brake,  shift   the  transaxle
into "P" (Park)  position and turn  off the
ignition when you leave the vehicle, even
momentarily.   Never  leave  the  vehicle
unattended while the  engine is running.
When  accelerating   from  a  stop   on  a
steep  hill, the  vehicle  may have  a  ten-
dency  to  roll  backwards.   Shifting  the
shift lever  into 2nd  gear  while in  Sport
mode will help  prevent the vehicle from
rolling  backwards.
Byrapidlymovingtheselectorleverback-
wards (-) twice, it is possible to skip one
gear, i.e.,  3rd to  1st, 4th  to 2nd.   Since
sudden engine braking  and/or rapid ac-
celeration can  cause a  loss of  traction,
however, downshifts must be made care-
fully  in  accordance  with  the  vehicle's
speed.

NOTE:
o
For smooth and safe operation, depress
the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu-
tral"  position  or   "Park"  position  to  a
forward or  reverse gear.
The  ignition  key  must be  in  the  "ON"
position  and  the  brake pedal  fully  de-
pressed in order  to move the shift lever
from the "P" (Park) position to any of the
other  positions.
It  is always  possible to  shift  from "R",
"N",  "D"  position  to "P"  position.  The
vehicle  must be  fully stopped  to  avoid
transaxle  damage.

NOTE:
o
In  sports  mode, only  the  four  forward
gears can be selected. To select reverse
or park, move the selector lever to the "R"
or "P"  position as required.
In  sports  mode,  downward   shifts  are
made  automatically   when  the  vehicle
slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st
gear is  automatically  selected.
o
o
Check the automatic transaxle fluid level
regularly, and  add fluid as  necessary.
See  the  maintenance schedule  for  the
proper  fluid  recommendation.
