5-25
N: Neutral
• No power is transmitted to the wheels.
• Although you can also use this position when
starting the engine, we strongly recommend
using the “P” position for increased safety.
D: Drive
• This is the position for driving.
• In the automatic shift mode, gearshifts take
place automatically as shown below in accor-
dance with the vehicle loading and speed.
NOTE:
The DUONIC
TM
system automatically selects the
starting gear according to the steepness of the
slope and the vehicle loading. It selects 2nd on a
level or downhill road and 1st on an uphill road.
• Moving the gearshift lever from “D” position to
the “A/M”, “+”, or “–” position causes the manual
shift mode to be selected.
A/M: Automatic/manual shift mode
Each time you push the gearshift lever into this
position, the gearshift mode switches between the
automatic shift mode and manual shift mode.
+: Upshift
• Use this position for manual upshifts.
• The gear shifts up by one gear each time you
move the gearshift lever to this position from the
“D” position.
–: Downshift
• Use this position for manual downshifts.
• The gear shifts down by one gear each time you
move the gearshift lever to this position from the
“D” position.
