The engine can be started in this position. You may
shift to the N (Neutral) position and restart a stalled
engine while the vehicle is moving.

To select the SPORT mode, push the SPORT mode
switch with the shift lever in the D (Drive) position.
The SPORT mode indicator light
in the meter
panel illuminates. To turn off the SPORT mode, push
the SPORT mode switch again. The SPORT mode
indicator light will turn off. When the shift lever is
shifted to any position other than D, the SPORT
mode will be automatically turned off.
“OFF” position:
For normal driving and fuel economy, use the “OFF”
position.
ON position:
For driving up or down long slopes where engine
braking is necessary, or for powerful acceleration,
use the ON position. The transmission will automati-
cally select a different gear ratio, allowing the en-
gine to provide high output.
When driving conditions change, push the switch to
turn the SPORT mode off.
Remember not to drive at high speeds for extended
periods of time with the SPORT mode in the ON
position. This reduces fuel economy.

tor pedal to the floor. This shifts the transmission
down into a lower gear, depending on the vehicle
speed.
