or service brakes are applied.
NOTICE
D (Drive)
When the shift lever  is in the P, N or  R
position,  you   can't  shift   the  gear  by
using the steering wheel shift paddles.
In sports mode, if you pull the left and
right  hand  shift   paddles  at  the  same
time, you can't shift the gear.
This is  the  normal forward  driving posi-
tion. The transaxle will automatically shift
through a 5-gear sequence, providing the
best fuel economy and power.
Bring the  car to  a complete  stop before
shifting the selector to “D” position.

motion, sports mode is selected by push-
ing the shift lever from the D (Drive) posi-
tion into the  manual gate. To return  to D
(Drive)  range  operation,  push  the  shift
lever back into the main gate.
For  extra power  when  passing  another
vehicle or  climbing  grades, depress  the
accelerator   fully,   at   which   time    the
transaxle will  automatically  downshift to
the next lower gear.
