in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE)
position.
This occurs because the transaxle has not
warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a
problem. If this occurs, place the selector
lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the
engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be
able to start normally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up
operation.
The MIVEC engine automatically switches
its intake-valve control between a low-speed
mode and a high-speed mode in accordance
with driving conditions for maximum engine
performance.

Automatic transaxle will automatically
change its gear depending on road and driv-
ing conditions. This helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
Also you can manually shift up and shift
down the transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode”
on page 5-68.
The transaxle prevents unnecessary upshifts
even when the accelerator pedal is released
and ensures smooth driving.
According to the conditions, the transaxle
will automatically shift to a lower gear to
achieve stronger engine braking. This may
help reduce your need to use the service
brake.

As an additional safety precaution, models
equipped with an automatic transaxle have a
shift-lock device that holds the selector lever
in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the
selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position
to another position, follow the steps below.
1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.
2. Move the selector lever to the desired
position.
The transaxle has 6 forward gears and 1
reverse gear.
Using the MIVEC engine
NOTE
 To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolant
temperature is low. In such a case, the engine
revolutions do not rise to over 5,000 rpm
even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.

NOTE
 During the break-in period or immediately
after reconnecting the battery, your vehicle
may not shift smoothly. This does not indi-
cate a problem in the transaxle. Shifting will
become smoother once the transaxle has
been shifted several times by the electronic
control system.
Selector lever operation
NOTE
 The selector lever cannot be moved from “P”
(PARK) to another position if the operation
mode is put in OFF or ACC, or if the brake
pedal is not pressed and held down.
