When Driving; Second gear fixed mode- Page 156

NOTE

•

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

•

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

•

When depressing the accelerator fully,
the transmission will shift to a lower
gear, depending on vehicle speed.
However, the gears do not kickdown
while the DSC is turned off.

Second gear fixed mode

When the selector lever is moved back 
while the vehicle speed is about 10 km/h
(6.2 mph) or less, the transmission is set in
the second gear fixed mode. The gear is
fixed in second while in this mode for
easier acceleration from a stop and driving
on slippery roads such as snow-covered
roads.
If the selector lever is moved back   or
forward   while in the second gear fixed
mode, the mode will be canceled.
