OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
80SS5-01E
NOTE:
• When the engine is revved, the gear is
shifted up automatically to prevent dam-
age to the engine and the transmission.
• When the driving speed becomes slow,
the gear shifts down automatically, and
when the vehicle stops, the gear position
will be in 1st gear without shifting the
gearshift lever.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal a
certain amount, the gear shifts down
automatically even if the gearshift lever
is in the manual mode.
NOTE:
When you change gear, sometimes the
transmission may not shift to the desired
gear but a buzzer sounds instead. This is
to maintain good drivability and to protect
the transmission.
