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 on page
4-49.

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 feel.
The transaxle may switch to AAS mode
when driving up and down slopes,
cornering, driving at high elevations, or
depressing the accelerator pedal quickly
while the shift lever is in the D position.
Depending on the road and driving
conditions/vehicle operations, gear
shifting could be delayed or not occur,
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. Press and hold the lock-release button.

4. Move the selector lever.

NOTE

l

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

l

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

q

Shift-Lock Override

If the selector 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.
