WARNING

Do not use engine braking on slippery
road surfaces or at high speeds:

Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or while
driving at high speeds causes sudden
engine braking, which is dangerous.
The sudden change in tire speed
could cause the tires to skid. This
could lead to loss of vehicle control
and an accident.

NOTE

l

When driving at high speeds, the gear may
not shift down.

l

During deceleration, the gear may
automatically shift down depending on
vehicle speed.

l

When depressing the accelerator fully, the
transaxle will shift to a lower gear,
depending on vehicle speed (Except M2

M1).

Second gear fixed mode

When the shift lever is tapped back (

)

while the vehicle is stopped or driven at
the following speeds, the transaxle is set
in the second gear fixed mode.

SKYACTIV-G 2.0 model:

10.1 km/h (6.27 mph) or less

MZR 2.0, MZR 2.5 model:

12 km/h (7.5 mph) or less

The gear is fixed in second while in this
mode for easier starting and driving on
slippery roads. If the shift lever is tapped
back (

) or forward (

) while in the

second gear fixed mode, the mode will be
