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.
If the driver accelerates rapidly, or
accelerates and decelerates rapidly by
operating the accelerator and brake pedal
for a certain period of time while the shift
lever is in the D position, AAS mode
could activate.
When cornering the vehicle, AAS mode
will hold the transaxle in the gear the
vehicle was in before entering the curve,
allowing the vehicle to be accelerated
from the same gear after exiting the curve.
AAS mode will maintain the transaxle in
the optimum gear and the driver may
sense that the transaxle is not shifting,
however this does not indicate an
abnormality.

q

2. Start the engine.

3. Move the shift lever.

NOTE

l

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

l

To be sure the vehicle is in park,

the

ignition key cannot be removed unless the
shift lever is 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.

using a cloth-wrapped flat head
screwdriver.
