both indicators are on, upshifting and
downshifting are both possible. When the
vehicle sto ps (for example, a t traffic
signals), the downshift indicator turns off.
Gearshifts can be performed using the
shift paddle behind the steering wheel.
To upshift to the next higher gear position,
pull the shift paddle that has “+” indicated
on it. To downshift to the next lower gear
position, pull the shift paddle that has “–”
indicated on it.
To deselect the manual mode, return the
select lever to the “D” position from the “M”
position.
If you operate either of the shift paddles
while driving in the “D” po sition, the
transmission will temporarily switch to
the manual mode. In this case, once the
vehicle speed stabilizes, the transmission
will switch from the manual mode back to
the “D” position for normal driving.
While driving with the select lever in the
“D ” position, if you change gears by
operating the shift paddle, the gear posi-
tion indicator light illuminates and shows
the current gear condition.
CAUTION
Do not place or hang anything on
the shift paddles. Doing so may
result in accidental gear shifting.
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 shift paddle twice in rapid succes-
sion.
. The transmission automatically se-
lects 1st gear when the vehicle stops
moving.
. If the temperature of the transmis-
sion fluid becomes too high, the “AT
OIL TEMP” warning light will illuminate.
Immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
location and let the engine idle until the
warning light turns off.
! Gear shift indicator (if equipped)
When shifting up is recommended for
good fuel economy, the upshift indicator
blinks. When shifting down is recom-
mended, the downshift indicator blinks.
NOTE
. Usually, the gear shift indicator is
guideline for driving more fuel-effi-
ciency and it also may operate to
prevent a possible engine stall at low
engine speed.
. Also, the gear shift indicator oper-
ates to prevent engine damage at high
engine speed.
