CAUTION
l
Upward shifts do not take place automat-
ically in sports mode. The driver must ex-
ecute upward shifts in accordance with
prevailing road conditions, taking care to
keep the engine speed below the red zone.
l
Repeated continuous operation of the se-
lector lever or the shift paddles will con-
tinuously switch shift position.
l
For vehicles equipped with shift paddles,
do not use the left- and right-hand shift
paddles at the same time. Doing so could
cause a shift of gear ratio that you do not
expect.
NOTE
l
In
sports mode, only the 6 forward gear ra-
tios can be selected. To reverse or park the ve-
hicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (RE-
VERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as required.
l
To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up-
shift when the selector lever is moved to the
“+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the
engine, the transmission may refuse to per-
form a downshift when the lever is moved to
the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain
vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer
sounds to indicate that a downshift is not go-
ing to take place.
l
In sports mode, downward shifts are made au-
tomatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1
st
position is auto-
matically selected.

CAUTION
l
If malfunction occurs in the CVT while
driving, the warning display or the
warning display will appear on the infor-
mation
screen in the multi-information
display.
In this case, follow these procedures:
[When
warning display is showing]
The
CVT fluid is overheating. The engine
control may activate to lower the CVT flu-
id temperature, causing the engine revolu-
tions and vehicle speed to decrease. In
this case, take one of the following meas-
ures.
• Slow down your vehicle.
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place, place
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK)
position, and open the bonnet with the
engine running to allow the engine to
cool down.
After a while, confirm that the
warn-
ing
display is no longer showing. It is safe
to continue driving if the display is no lon-
ger showing. If the warning display re-
mains or appears frequently, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
[When
warning display is showing]
It
may be that there is something unusual
happening in the CVT, causing a safety de-
vice to activate. We recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected as soon as pos-
sible.
