Automatic transaxle (if so equipped)
5-68 Features and controls
Also you can manually shift up and shift
down the transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode”
on page 5-72.
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.
The individual gears are selected automati-
cally, depending on the position of the gear
selector lever, the speed of the vehicle and the
position of the accelerator pedal.
DRIVING UPHILL
DRIVING DOWNHILL
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
The selector lever cannot be moved from “P”
(PARK) to other position if the operation
mode is put in OFF or ACC, or if the brake
pedal is not pressed and held down.
Set the selector lever in the gate to
operate while the brake pedal is
depressed.
Set the selector lever in the gate to
