Passing acceleration

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when

passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The

automatic transaxle will automatically downshift.

OTE

● In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the

accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.

Waiting

For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle

can be left in gear and held stationary with the service brake.

For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place the

selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the

parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the

service brake.

Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure

that the selector lever is in “D” (DRIVE) position or Sports

mode position.

● Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed

when the vehicle is stationary.

This can damage the transaxle.

Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while

holding down the brake pedal with the selector lever

in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions

may not rise as high as when performing the same

operation with the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-

TRAL) position.

CAUTION

● To avoid transaxle overheating, never try to keep

your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the acceler-

ator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or

service brake.

● Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle

is stationary. Unexpected acceleration may occur if

the selector lever is in a position other than “P”

(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
