DRIVING DOWNHILL
When travelling down steep grades, the computer
may automatically select a lower shift position.
This function assists engine braking efforts, reduc-
ing the need for using the service brakes.
Waiting
E00602800025
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic signals
the vehicle can be left in selector lever position and
held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine running,
place the selector lever in the "N" (NEUTRAL) po-
sition and apply the parking brake, while holding
the vehicle stationary with the service brake.
CAUTION
l
Never hold the vehicle stationary while
the CVT is engaged on a hill with the ac-
celerator, always apply the parking brake
and/or service brake.
Parking
E00602900042
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete
stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then
move the selector lever to the "P" (PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unattended, al-
ways switch off the engine and carry the key.
NOTE
l
On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
"P" (PARK) position. If you move the selec-
tor lever to the "P" (PARK) position before
applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
"P" (PARK) position when next you drive
the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
"P" (PARK) position.
When the CVT makes no speed change
E00603100126
If the transmission does not change speeds while
driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough
speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may be
that there is something unusual happening in the
transmission, causing a safety device to activate.
We recommend you to have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.

Starting and driving
Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift
Transmission)*
E00620900099
The Twin Clutch SST is a transmission that,
through integrated control of the engine and trans-
mission, is able to achieve both the smooth shifting
of an automatic transmission and the acceleration
and fuel economy close to a manual transmission.
In addition, the control mode can be selected from
two types to suit the driving conditions.
Together with manual shifting, the transmission is
capable of responding to a variety of driving circum-
stances.
