conditions,  taking  care   to  keep  the
engine speed below the red zone.

In sports  mode, downshifts  are made
automatically when  the  vehicle slows

brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the  transaxle from P (Park)  or N

ated.
Always   fully   depress   the   brake
pedal before and  while shifting out
of the P  (Park) position into  anoth-

motion of  the  vehicle which  could
injure  persons   in  or   around  the
vehicle.
In  sports  mode,  moving  the shift  lever
backwards and forwards will allow you to
make gearshifts  rapidly. In  contrast to  a

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.
