When Driving

Manual Transaxle Operation

Manual Transaxle Shift
Pattern

5-speed transaxle

6-speed transaxle

Neutral position

  The vehicle is equipped with either a
5-speed or 6-speed transaxle. The shift
pattern for each is shown above.

  Depress the clutch pedal all the way down
while shifting; then release it slowly.

  Your vehicle is equipped with a device to
prevent shifting to R (reverse) by mistake.
Push the shift lever downward and shift
to R.

WARNING

Do not use sudden engine braking
on slippery road surfaces or at high
speeds:
Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving
at high speeds causes sudden engine
braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tyre speed could
cause the tyres to skid. This could
lead to loss of vehicle control and an
accident.

Always leave the shift lever in 1 or
R position and set the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle unattended:
Otherwise the vehicle could move and
cause an accident.

CAUTION

Keep your foot off the clutch pedal

except when shifting gears. Also, do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle
on an upgrade. Riding the clutch
will cause needless clutch wear and
damage.

Do not apply any excessive lateral

force to the shift lever when
changing from 5th to 4th gear. This
could lead to the accidental selection
of 2nd gear, which could result in
damage to the transaxle.

Make sure the vehicle comes to a

complete stop before shifting to R.
Shifting to R while the vehicle is still
moving may damage the transaxle.

4–47

When Driving

depressing the clutch pedal within 3
seconds of the engine stopping.

The engine cannot be restarted even

if the clutch pedal is depressed under
the following conditions:

The driver's door is open.

The driver's seat belt is unfastened.

The clutch pedal is not released

completely after the engine stalled.

The clutch pedal is depressed with

the engine not stopped completely.

CAUTION

Do not rely solely on the shift-up/
shift-down recommendations by
indications. The actual driving situation
might require shift operations different
from indication. To avoid the risk of
accidents, the road and traf

¿ c conditions

have to be judged correctly by the driver
before shifting.

Indicates that you must depress the brake pedal and hold in the lock-release
button to shift (The ignition must be switched ON).

Various Lockouts:

NOTE

The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic transaxle that
gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of leaving it to the transaxle to
shift gears. Even if you intend to use the automatic transaxle functions as a traditional
automatic, you should also be aware that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift
mode and an inappropriate gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you
notice the engine speed going higher or hear the engine racing, con

¿ rm you have not

accidentally slipped into manual shift mode (page 4-53 ).

When Driving

Automatic Transaxle

Transaxle Ranges

The shift position indicator light in the

instrument cluster illuminates. Refer
to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-38 .

The selector lever must be in P or N to

operate the starter.

P (Park)

P locks the transaxle and prevents the front
wheels from rotating.

WARNING

Always set the selector lever to P and
set the parking brake:
Only setting the selector lever to the
P position without using the parking
brake to hold the vehicle is dangerous.
If P fails to hold, the vehicle could
move and cause an accident.

CAUTION

Shifting into P, N or R while the

vehicle is moving can damage your
transaxle.

Shifting into a driving gear or reverse

when the engine is running faster
than idle can damage the transaxle.

R (Reverse)

In position R, the vehicle moves only
backward. You must be at a complete
stop before shifting to or from R, except
under rare circumstances as explained in
Rocking the Vehicle (page 3-51 ).

NOTE

(With parking sensor system)
When the selector lever is shifted to the
R position with the ignition switched
ON, the parking sensor system is
activated and a beep sound is heard.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page
4-204 .

N (Neutral)

In N, the wheels and transaxle are not
locked. The vehicle will roll freely even
on the slightest incline unless the parking
brake or brakes are on.

WARNING

If the engine is running faster than
idle, do not shift from N or P into a
driving gear:
It's dangerous to shift from N or P
into a driving gear when the engine
is running faster than idle. If this is
done, the vehicle could move suddenly,
causing an accident or serious injury.

Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle:
Shifting into N while driving is
dangerous. Engine braking cannot be
applied when decelerating which could
lead to an accident or serious injury.

4–52

When Driving

Automatic Transaxle

CAUTION

Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle. Doing so can cause transaxle
damage.

NOTE

Apply the parking brake or depress the
brake pedal before moving the selector
lever from N to prevent the vehicle from
moving unexpectedly.

D (Drive)

D is the normal driving position. From a
stop, the transaxle will automatically shift
through a 6-gear sequence.

M (Manual)

M is the manual shift mode position. Gears
can be shifted up or down by operating the
selector lever. Refer to Manual Shift Mode
on page 4-53 .

Shift Position Indication

The selector position is indicated when the
ignition is switched ON.

NOTE

If one of the following actions is
performed, the selector position is
displayed for 5 minutes even if the
ignition switch is in a position other than
ON.

The ignition is switched OFF.

The driver's door is opened.

Gear position indication

In manual shift mode, the “M” of the shift
position indication illuminates and the
numeral for the selected gear is displayed.

Active Adaptive Shift (AAS)

Active Adaptive Shift (AAS)
automatically controls the transaxle shift
points to best suit the road conditions
and driver input. This improves driving
feel. The transaxle may switch to AAS
mode when driving up and down slopes,
cornering, driving at high elevations,
or depressing the accelerator pedal
quickly while the selector lever is in the
D position. Depending on the road and
driving conditions/vehicle operations, gear
shifting could be delayed or not occur,
however, this does not indicate a problem
because the AAS mode will maintain the
optimum gear position.

4–53

When Driving

Automatic Transaxle

Manual Shift Mode

The  manual  shift  mode  gives  you  the  feel
of driving a manual transaxle vehicle by
allowing you to operate the selector lever
manually. This allows you to control
engine rpm and torque to the drive wheels
much like a manual transaxle when more
control is desired.
  To change to manual shift mode, shift the
lever from D to M.

NOTE

Changing to manual shift mode while
driving will not damage the transaxle.

To return to automatic shift mode, shift the
lever from M to D.

NOTE

If you change to manual shift mode

when the vehicle is stopped, the gear
will shift to M1.

If you change to manual shift mode

without depressing the accelerator
pedal when driving in D range, 5th
gear/6th gear, the gear will shift to
M4/M5.

(ATF) temperature becomes too
high, there is the possibility that the
transaxle will switch to automatic
shift mode, cancelling manual
shift mode and turning off the gear
position indication illumination.
This is a normal function to protect
the AT. After the ATF temperature
has decreased, the gear position
indication illumination turns back on
and driving in manual shift mode is
restored.
