NOTE

The Sport AT has an option that is not

included in the traditional automatic

transmission that gives the driver the

option of selecting each gear instead of

leaving it to the transmission to shift

gears. Even if you intend to use the

automatic transmission 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, con

fi

rm you

have not accidentally slipped into

manual shift mode (page 4-38).
