Starting and driving
CAUTION
l
If malfunction occurs in the CVT while
driving, the
warning display or the
warning display will appear on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information
display.
In this case, follow these procedures:
[When
warning display is showing]
The CVT fluid is overheating. The engine
control may activate to lower the CVT flu-
id temperature, causing the engine revolu-
tions and vehicle speed to decrease. In
this case, take one of the following meas-
ures.
• Slow down your vehicle.
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place, place
the selector lever in the "P" (PARK)
4
position, and open the bonnet with the
engine running to allow the engine to
cool down.
After a while, confirm that the
ing display is no longer showing. It is safe
to continue driving if the display is no lon-
ger showing. If the warning display re-
mains or appears frequently, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
[When
warning display is showing]
It may be that there is something unusual
happening in the CVT, causing a safety de-
vice to activate. We recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected as soon as pos-
sible.

Operation of the CVT
CAUTION
l
Before selecting a position with the en-
gine running and the vehicle stationary,
fully depress the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as
the CVT is engaged, especially when the
engine speed is high, at fast idle or with
the air conditioning operating, the brakes
should only be released when you are
ready to drive away.
l
Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot at all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
l
To prevent sudden acceleration, never
race the engine when shifting from the
"P" (PARK) or "N" (NEUTRAL) position.
warn-
l
Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal
will affect braking efficiency and may
cause premature wear of brake pads.
l
Use the selector lever in the correct shift
position in accordance with driving condi-
tions.
Never coast downhill backward with the
selector lever in the "D" (DRIVE) or
sports mode position or coast forward
with the selector lever in the "R" (RE-
VERSE) position.
The engine may stop and the unexpected
increase in brake pedal effort and steer-
ing wheel weight could lead to an accident.

l
Do not race the engine with the brake ped-
al pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the CVT.
Also, when you depress the accelerator
pedal while holding down the brake ped-
al 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" (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
To gain extra acceleration in "D" (DRIVE) posi-
tion, push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT
will automatically downshift.
NOTE
l
In "Sports mode", downshifts do not take
place when the accelerator is depressed all
the way to the floor.
Uphill/downhill driving
DRIVING UPHILL
The CVT may not upshift to a higher shift position
if the computer determines the current speed can-
not be maintained once a higher shift position is en-
gaged.
For smoother vehicle performance, if you release
the throttle while climbing a steep grade, the CVT
may not upshift. This is normal, as the computer is
temporarily preventing shifting. After reaching the
top of the hill, normal shift function will resume.
