Automatic transaxle operation

The automatic transaxle has 8 for-
ward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected
automatically, depending on the
position of the shift lever.

✽

✽

NOTICE

The first few shifts on a new vehicle,
if the battery has been disconnected,
may be somewhat abrupt. This is a
normal condition, and the shifting
sequence will adjust after shifts are
cycled a few times by the TCM
(Transaxle Control Module) or
PCM (Powertrain Control Module).

For smooth operation, depress the
brake pedal and the lock release but-
ton when shifting from N (Neutral) to

Driving your vehicle

When stopped on an incline, do not
hold the vehicle with the engine
power. Use the service brake or the
parking brake.

Transaxle ranges

The indicator in the instrument clus-
ter displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.

P (Park)

Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park). This
position locks the transaxle and pre-
vents the drive wheels from rotating.
Shifting into P (Park) while the vehi-
cle is in motion will cause the drive
wheels to lock which will cause you
to lose control of the vehicle.

R (Reverse)

Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.

N (Neutral)

The wheels and transaxle are not
engaged. The vehicle will roll freely
even on the slightest incline unless
the parking brake or service brakes
are applied.

WARNING

- Leaving

Vehicle

Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position; then
set the parking brake fully and
shut the engine off. Do not use
the P position in place of the
parking brake. Always make
sure the shift lever is locked in
the P position and set the park-
ing brake fully. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are
not followed.

CAUTION

- Transaxle

To avoid damage to your
transaxle, do not accelerate the
engine in R (Reverse) or any for-
ward gear position with the
brakes on. The transaxle may be
damaged if you shift into P
(Park) while the vehicle is in
motion.

CAUTION

- Shifting

Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transaxle if you shift into R
(Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion, except when “Rocking
the vehicle” explained in this
chapter.

HOLD] switch and [AUTO HOLD]
function should be turn off.

3.While depressing the brake pedal,

turn the ignition button [OFF].
- For smart key equipped vehicles,

the ignition switch can be moved
to [OFF] only when the shift lever
is in [P].

4.Change the gear shift lever to [N]

(Neutral) while depressing the
brake pedal and inserting, press-
ing down a tool (e.g. flathead
screw-driver) into the [SHIFT
LOCK RELEASE] access hole at
the same time. Then, the vehicle

✽

✽

NOTICE

• After the ignition switch has been

turned off, the EPB (Electronic
Parking Brake) cannot be released.

• For EPB (Electronic Parking

Brake) equipped vehicles with
[AUTO HOLD] function used
while driving, if the ignition but-
ton has been turned [OFF], the
EPB (Electronic Parking Brake)
will be engaged automatically.
Therefore, [AUTO HOLD] func-
tion should be turned off before
the ignition button is turned off.

WARNING

- Parking In

Neutral

• With the exception of parking

in neutral gear, always park the
vehicle in [P] (Park) for safety
and apply the parking brake.

• Before parking in [N] (Neutral)

gear, make sure the parking
ground is level and flat. Do not
park in [N] gear on any slopes
or gradients. If parked and left
in [N], the vehicle may move
and cause serious damage or
injury.

5 13

Driving your vehicle

D (Drive)

This is the normal forward driving
position. The transaxle will automati-
cally shift through a 8-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.

For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transaxle will auto-
matically downshift to the next lower
gear.

Manual mode

Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, manual mode is selected
by pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate.
To return to D (Drive) range opera-
tion, push the shift lever back into the
main gate.

In manual mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will
allow you to make gearshifts rapidly.
In contrast to a manual transaxle, the
manual mode allows gearshifts with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once

to shift up one gear.

Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards

once to shift down one
gear.

• In manual mode, the driver must

execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, taking care to
keep the engine speed below the
red zone.

• In manual mode, only the 8 forward

gears can be selected. To reverse
or park the vehicle, move the shift
lever to the R (Reverse) or P (Park)
position as required.

OYG056013

Driving your vehicle

• In manual mode, downshifts are

made automatically when the vehi-
cle slows down. When the vehicle
stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.

• In manual mode, when the engine

rpm approaches the red zone shift
points are varied to upshift auto-
matically.

• To maintain the required levels of

vehicle performance and safety,
the system may not execute cer-
tain gearshifts when the shift lever
is operated.

• When driving on a slippery road,

push the shift lever forward into the
+(up) position. This causes the
transaxle to shift into the 2nd gear
which is better for smooth driving
on a slippery road. Push the shift
lever to the -(down) side to shift
back to the 1st gear.

Paddle shifter (if equipped)

The paddle shifter is available when
the shift lever is in the D position or
the manual mode.

With the shift lever in the D position

The paddle shifter will operate when
the vehicle speed is more than
6.2mph(10km/h).
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear and the
system changes from automatic
mode to manual mode.
When the vehicle speed is lower than
6.2mph(10km/h), if you depress the
accelerator pedal for more than 5
seconds or if you shift the shift lever
from D (Drive) to manual mode and
shift it from manual mode to D (Drive)
again, the system changes from
manual mode to automatic mode.

With the shift lever in the manual mode

Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear.

✽

✽

NOTICE

If you pull the [+] and [-] paddle
shifters at the same time, you cannot
shift the gear.
