7-28 Starting and operating
! Using the paddle shift (turbo and
3.0-liter models)
S07AH0302
Pull the “+” of the paddle shift to upshift
one level. Also pull the “−” of the paddle
shift to downshift one level.
To deselect the manual mode, return the
selector lever to the “D” position from the
manual gate.
While driving, if you change the gear by
paddle shifting, the gear position indicator
light comes on and shows the current gear
condition. At this time, the normal mode
temporarily changes to the manual mode,
and after driving for a short period of time,
the transmission mode returns to the
normal mode. (The timing of the gear
change and return is different, depending
on the driving conditi on when paddle
shifting.)
Also, if you subsequently ease off the
accelerator pedal and then accele rate
again, the transmission will automatically
switch back from manual mode to normal
mode.
CAUTION
The paddl e s hif t le ver c ould be
accidentally changed if accessories
or other materials are placed on the
paddle shift lever. Do not place
accessories and other materials on
the paddle shift lever.
NOTE
Please read the following points care-
fully and bear them in mind when using
the manual mode.
.
If you attempt to shift down when
the engine speed is too high, i.e., when
a downshift would push the tachometer
needle beyond the red zone, beeps will
be emitted to warn you that the down-
shift is not possible.
.
If you attempt to shift up when the
vehicle speed is too low, the transmis-
sion will not respond.
.
You can perform a skip-shift (for
example, from 4th to 2nd) by operating
the selector lever or a paddle switch
twice in rapid succession.
.
The transmission automatically se-
lects 1st gear when the vehicle stops
moving.
.
If the temperature of the automatic
transmission fluid becomes too high,
the “AT OIL TEMP” warning light will
come on. Immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place and let the engine idle
until the warning light goes off.
& Maximum speeds
S07AH04
WARNING
When down shifting, ensure that the
vehicle is not travelling at a speed
exceeding the Maximum Allowable
Speed for the gear which is about to
be selected. Failure to observe this
precaution can lead to engine over-
revving and this in turn can result in
engine damage.
In addition, sudden application of
engine braking caused by down
shifting when the vehicle is travel-
ling on a slippery surface can lead
to wheel locking; as a consequence,
control of the vehicle may be lost
and the risk of an accident in-
creased.
