system
Upshifts do  not  take place  automati-
cally in sports mode.  The driver must
execute  upshifts  in  accordance  with
road  conditions, taking  care  to  keep
the engine speed below the red  zone.
In sports mode,  only the five forward
gears  can  be selected.  To  reverse  or
park the  vehicle, move the  shift lever
to the “R” or “P” position as required.
In sports  mode, downshifts  are made
automatically when  the  vehicle slows
down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear
is automatically selected.
Sports mode
(DOWN)
When   driving  on   a  slippery   road,
push the  shift  lever forward  into the
-
+(up)
position.    This    causes     the
transaxle to shift  into 2nd gear which
is better for smooth  driving on a slip-
pery road. Push the shift lever to the -
(down) side to shift  back to  1st gear.

Sports mode
Whether  the  vehicle is  stationary  or  in
motion, sports mode is selected by push-
ing  the shift  lever  from the  “D” position
into  the  manual  gate. To  return  to  “D”
range operation, push the shift lever back
into the main gate.
(Continued)
In  sports  mode,  moving  the shift  lever
backwards and forwards will allow you to
make gearshifts  rapidly. In  contrast to  a
manual   transaxle,    the   sports   mode
allows  gearshifts   with   the  accelerator
pedal depressed.
