Manual Shift Mode

This mode gives you the feel of driving a
manual transaxle vehicle by operating the
selector lever and allows you to control
engine rpm and torque to the drive wheels
much like a manual transaxle when more
control is desired.

To change to manual shift mode, shift the
lever from D to M.

NOTE

Changing to manual shift mode while driving
will not damage the transaxle.

To return to automatic shift mode, shift
the lever from M to D.

NOTE

l

If you change to manual shift mode when
the vehicle is stopped, the gear will shift to
M1.

l

If you change to manual shift mode without
depressing the accelerator pedal when
driving in D range, 5th gear/6th gear, the
gear will shift to M4/M5.

Indicators

of the shift

position indicator in the instrument panel
illuminates.

NOTE

l

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 (to protect the
transaxle).

l

If the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF)
temperature becomes too high, there is the
possibility that the transaxle will switch to
automatic shift mode, canceling manual
shift mode and turning off the gear position
indicator illumination. This is a normal
function to protect the automatic transaxle.
After the ATF temperature has decreased,
the gear position indicator illumination
turns back on and driving in manual shift
mode is restored.
