During deceleration, the gear may
automatically shift down depending on
vehicle speed.

When depressing the accelerator fully,
the transaxle will shift to a lower gear,
depending on vehicle speed. However,
the gears do not kickdown while the TCS
is turned off.

Second Gear Fixed Mode

When the selector lever is moved back 
while the vehicle speed is about 10 km/h
(6.2 mph) or less, the transaxle is set in the
second gear fixed mode. The gear is fixed
in second while in this mode for easier
acceleration from a stop and driving on
slippery roads such as snow-covered
roads.
If the selector lever is moved back   or
forward   while in the second gear fixed
mode, the mode will be canceled.
