NOTE

The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic transaxle that 

gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the transaxle to 

shift gears. Even if you intend to use the automatic transaxle functions as a traditional 

automatic, you should also be aware that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode 

and an inappropriate gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you notice the 

engine speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm you have not accidentally 

slipped into manual shift mode (page 4-43).
