   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, confi rm you have not accidentally 
slipped into manual shift mode (page  4-27 ).
