•
In sports mode, shift points are
varied to upward shifts automat-
ically when the engine rpm
approaches red zone.
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the “D”
position into the manual gate. To return
to “D” range operation, push the selector
lever back into the main gate.
•
It is always possible to shift from
“R”, “N”, “D” position to the
“P” position. But before shifting
to “P” make sure the vehicle is
fully stopped to avoid transaxle
damage.
•
To maintain the required levels
of vehicle performance and safe-
ty, the system may not execute
certain gear shifts when the shift
lever is operated.
In sports mode, moving the shift lever
backwards and forwards can make
gearshifts rapidly. In contrast to a
manual transaxle, the sports mode allows
gearshifts with the shift pedal depressed.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once to
shift up one gear.
•
When driving on a slippery road,
push the shift lever forward into
the +(Up) position. This causes
the transaxle to shift into the 2nd
gear which is better for smooth
driving on a slippery road. Push
the shift lever to the -(Down) side
to shift back to the 1st gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards once
to shift down one gear.
