D (Drive)

D is the normal driving position. From a
stop, the transaxle will automatically shift
through a 6-gear sequence.

M (Manual)

M is the manual shift mode position.
Gears can be shifted up or down by
operating the shift lever.
Refer to Manual Shift Mode (page 4-36).

q

Active Adaptive Shift (AAS)

Active Adaptive Shift (AAS)
automatically controls the transaxle shift
points to best suit the road conditions and
driver input. This improves driving
comfort.
The transaxle may switch to AAS mode
when driving up and down slopes,
cornering, or depressing the accelerator
pedal quickly while the shift lever is in the
D position.
Depending on the driving conditions and
vehicle operations, it may not be possible
to shift gears, however, this does not
indicate a problem because the AAS
mode will maintain the optimum gear
position.

q

Shift-Lock System

The shift-lock system prevents shifting
out of P unless the brake pedal is
depressed.

To shift from P:

1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

2. Start the engine.

3. Move the shift lever.

NOTE

l

When the ignition is switched to ACC or the
ignition is switched off, the shift lever
cannot be shifted from P.

l

The ignition cannot be switched to OFF if
the shift lever is not in P.

q

Shift-Lock Override

If the shift lever will not move from P
using the proper shift procedure, continue
to hold down the pedal.

1. Remove the shift-lock override cover

using a cloth-wrapped flat head
screwdriver.

2. Insert a screwdriver and push it down.
