NOTE

If the gears cannot be shifted down 
when driving at higher speeds, the gear 
position indicator will flash twice to 
signal that the gears cannot be shifted 
down (page 5-14).

NOTE

When driving slowly, the gears may 
not shift up depending on vehicle 
speed (page 5-14).

In manual shift mode, gears do not 
shift up automatically. Don’t run the 
engine with the tachometer needle 
in the RED ZONE. If the 
tachometer needle enters the RED 
ZONE, you may feel engine-
braking because the fuel delivery 
will be stopped to protect the 
engine. However, this does not 
indicate an abnormality.

Gears may not be shifted from M1 
to M2 right after shifting the lever 
from D to M. Wait a few seconds 
and then shift up to M2.

When depressing the accelerator 
fully, the transaxle will shift to a 
lower gear, depending on vehicle 
speed.
