When Driving

In manual shift mode, the “M” of the shift
position indication in the instrument panel
illuminates.

Manual shift mode indicator
Gear position indicator
NOTE
If the gears cannot be shifted down
when driving at higher speeds, the gear
position indication will ash twice to
signal that the gears cannot be shifted
down (to protect the transaxle).
If the automatic transaxle uid (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 indication
illumination. This is a normal function
to protect the AT. After the ATF
temperature has decreased, the gear
position indication illumination turns
back on and driving in manual shift
mode is restored.
