Driving

Use the paddle shifters to change between 1st and 10th gears without removing
your hands from the steering wheel. The transmission will switch to the sequential
mode.

When the transmission is in

(

D:

The vehicle will go into the sequential mode momentarily, and the gear selection
indicator will come on.
When the vehicle goes into the sequential mode by

(

- paddle shifter and the lower

gear is available, the transmission properly selects single or double gear change.

Once you start traveling at a constant speed, the sequential mode will automatically
switch off, and the gear selection indicator will go off.

Hold the

(

+ paddle shifter for two seconds to return to normal drive.

When the transmission is in

(

D with SPORT mode:

The vehicle will go into the sequential mode, and the M (sequential mode) indicator
and gear selection indicator will come on.
If the vehicle speed increases and the engine speed reaches near the tachometer’s
red zone, the transmission automatically shifts up to the next gear.
You can cancel this mode by holding the

(

+ paddle shifter for two seconds. When

the sequential mode is canceled, the sequential mode indicator and gear selection
indicator go off.

Sequential Mode Operation

Each paddle shift operation makes a single gear
change.
To change gears continuously, release the paddle
shifter before pulling it again for the next gear.

If the gear selection indicator blinks when you try to
shift up or down, this means your vehicle speed is not
in its allowable gear range or the protection of
transmission system is necessary.
Slightly accelerate to shift up and decelerate to shift
down while the indicator is blinking.

Driving

Use the paddle shifters to change between 1st and 7th speeds without releasing
your hands from the steering wheel. The transmission switches to the 7-speed
manual shift mode when you pull a paddle shifter while driving. This mode is useful
when engine braking is needed.

When the shift lever is in

(

D:

The shift mode goes into the 7-speed manual shift mode temporarily, and the
number is displayed in the gear selection indicator.
The 7-speed manual shift mode is canceled automatically if you drive at constant
speed or accelerate, and the number in the gear selection indicator goes off.
You can cancel this mode by pulling the

(

+ paddle shifter for a few seconds.

The 7-speed manual shift mode is especially useful when reducing the vehicle speed
temporarily before making a turn.

When the shift lever is in

(

D with SPORT mode:

The shift mode goes into the 7-speed manual shift mode. The M indicator and the
speed number are displayed in the gear selection indicator. As the vehicle speed
slows down, the transmission automatically shifts down accordingly. When the
vehicle comes to a stop, it automatically shifts down into 1st.

If the vehicle speed increases and the engine speed reaches near the tachometer’s
red zone, the transmission automatically shifts up.

You can only pull away in 1st speed.

When canceling the 7-speed manual shift mode, pressing the SPORT button. When
the 7-speed manual shift mode is canceled, the M indicator and gear selection
indicator go off.

7-Speed Manual Shift Mode

1

7-Speed Manual Shift Mode

In the 7-speed manual shift mode, the transmission
shifts up or down by operating either paddle shifter
under the following conditions:
Shift Up: The engine speed reaches the lowest
threshold of the higher speed position.
Shift Down: The engine speed reaches the highest
threshold of the lower speed position.

When the engine speed reaches near the
tachometer’s red zone, the transmission shifts up
automatically.
When the engine speed reaches the lowest threshold
of the selected speed position, the transmission shifts
down automatically.

Operating the paddle shifters on slippery surfaces
may cause the tires to lock up. In this case, the 7-
speed manual shift mode is canceled and goes back
to the normal D driving mode.

Shifting

Fully depress the clutch pedal to operate the shift lever and change gears, then
slowly release the pedal.

Depress the clutch pedal, and pause for a few seconds before shifting into

(

R, or

shift into one of the forward gears for a moment. This stops the gears so they do not
“grind.”

When you are not shifting, do not rest your
foot on the clutch pedal. This can cause your
clutch to wear out faster.

NOTICE

Do not shift to

(

R before the vehicle comes to a

complete stop.
Shifting to

(

R before stopping can damage the

transmission.

NOTICE

Before downshifting, make sure the engine will not
go into the tachometer’s red zone. Should this occur,
it can severely damage your engine.

There is a metallic part on the shift lever. If you leave
the vehicle parked outside for a long time on a hot
day, be careful before moving the shift lever. Because
of heat, the shift lever may be extremely hot. If the
outside temperature is low, the shift lever may feel
cold.

If you exceed the maximum speed for the gear you
are in, the engine speed will enter into the
tachometer’s red zone. When this happens, you may
experience a slight jolt.

(

R when the vehicle is stopped, do the following:

1. Depress the clutch pedal, move the shift

lever all the way to the left, and shift to

(

R.

2. If you still cannot shift into

(

R, apply the

parking brake, and set the power mode to
ACCESSORY or VEHICLE OFF.

3. Depress the clutch pedal and shift into

(

R.

4. Keep depressing the clutch pedal and start

the engine.

Have the vehicle checked by a dealer if you
have to go through this procedure repeatedly.

Driving

Vehicle Stability Assist® (VSA®), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System

VSA® helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
It does so by regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.

When VSA® activates, you may notice that the
engine does not respond to the accelerator.
You may also notice some noise from the
hydraulic system. You will also see the
indicator blink.

VSA® Operation

1

Vehicle Stability Assist® (VSA®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System

The VSA® may not function properly if tire type and
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and
type of tire, and the air pressures as specified.

When the VSA® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, there may be a problem with the
system. While this may not interfere with normal
driving, have your vehicle checked by a dealer
immediately.

VSA® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations
and does not control the entire braking system. You
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate
for the conditions and always leave a sufficient
margin of safety.

The main function of the VSA® system is generally
known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The
system also includes a traction control function.

This button is on the driver side control panel.
To partially disable VSA® functionality/features,
press and hold it until you hear a beep.

Your vehicle will have normal braking and
cornering ability, but traction control function
will be less effective.

To restore VSA® functionality/features, press
the

(VSA® OFF) button until you hear a

beep.

VSA® is turned on every time you start the
engine, even if you turned it off the last time
you drove the vehicle.

Vehicle Stability Assist® (VSA®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System

In certain unusual conditions when your vehicle gets
stuck in shallow mud or fresh snow, it may be easier
to free it with the VSA® temporarily switched off.

When the

button is pressed, the traction control

function becomes less effective. This allows for the
wheels to spin more freely at low speed. You should
only attempt to free your vehicle with the VSA® off if
you are not able to free it when the VSA® is on.

Immediately after freeing your vehicle, be sure to
switch VSA® on again. We do not recommend driving
your vehicle with the VSA® system switched off.

You may hear a motor sound coming from the
engine compartment while system checks are being
performed immediately after starting the engine or
while driving. This is normal.
