7-20 Starting and operating
NOTE
If the select lever is in the “N” position
when you stop the engine for parking,
you may not subsequently be able to
move it to the “R” or “P” position. If
this happens, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position. You will then be able
to move the select lever to the “P”
position. For details, refer to “
s07at10Shift
lock function” F7-20.
! D (Drive)
S07AT0104
This position is for normal driving.
The transmission automatically shifts into
a suitable gear according to the vehicle
speed and the acceleration you require.
When more acceleration is required in this
position, depress the accelerator pedal
fully to the floor and hold that position. The
transmission will automatically downshift.
When you release the pedal, the transmis-
sion will return to the original gear posi-
tion.
To use the “SPORT” mode, move the lever
from this position into the manual gate.
To use the manual mode, move the lever
from this position into the manual gate
then move it toward the “+” or “−” end.
! While climbing a grade
S07AT010401
When driving up a hill, undesired upshift is
prevented from taking place when the
accelerator pedal is released. This mini-
mizes the chance of subsequent down-
shifting to a lower gear when accelerating
again. This prevents repeated upshifting
and downshifting, resulting in a smoother
operation of the vehicle.
NOTE
The transmission may downshift to 2nd
or 1st gear, depending on the way the
accelerator pedal is pressed to accel-
erate the vehicle again.
! While going down a hill
S07AT010402
When you are descending a hill or any
other slope in the “SPORT” mode and you
apply the brakes, the transmission may
downshift depending on how hard you
depress the brake pedal, causing engine
braking to work. Reacceleration for a short
time will cause the transmission to upshift
normally.
NOTE
. For 4-speed AT models, a 4th-to-3rd
automatic downshift will not occur at
speeds above 80 km/h (50 mph) and a
3rd-to-2nd automatic downshift will not
occur at speeds above 38 km/h (24
mph).
. For 5-speed AT models, a 5th-to-4th
automatic downshift will not occur at
speeds above 126 km/h (78 mph) and a
4th-to-3rd automatic downshift will not
occur at speeds above 86 km/h (53
mph).
. Automatic downshifts may occur
even when driving on a level road
depending on conditions, such as
how hard you depress the brake pedal.
& Shift lock function
S07AT10
The shift lock function helps prevent the
improper operation of the select lever.
. The select lever cannot be operated
unless the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and the brake pedal is
depressed.
. The select lever cannot be moved from
the “P” position to any other position
before the brake pedal is depressed.
Depress the brake pedal first, and then
operate the select lever.
. Only the “P” position allows you to turn
the key from the “Acc” position to the
“LOCK”/“OFF” position and remove the
key from the ignition key cylinder.
. If the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK”/“OFF” position while the select
lever is in the “N” position, the select lever
may not be moved to the “P” position after
a period of time. Therefore, move the
select lever to the “P” position with the
brake pedal depressed soon after the
