CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANS-

MISSION (CVT)

The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

in your vehicle is electronically controlled to

produce maximum power and smooth operation.

The recommended operating procedures for this

transmission are shown on the following pages.

Follow these procedures for maximum vehicle

performance and driving enjoyment.

Engine power may be automatically re-

duced to protect the CVT if the engine

speed increases quickly when driving on

slippery roads or while being tested on

some dynamometers.

Starting the vehicle

1. After starting the engine, fully depress the

foot brake pedal before moving the selector

lever out of the P (Park) position.

This CVT is designed so that the foot

brake pedal must be depressed before

shifting from P (Park) to any driving

position while the ignition switch is in

the ON position.

The selector lever cannot be moved out

of the P (Park) position and into any of

the other pos itions if the ignit ion

switch is turned to the LOCK, OFF or

ACC position or if the key is removed.

2. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed, push

the selector lever button and move the

selector lever to a driving position.

3. Release the parking brake and foot brake

pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in

motion.

WARNING

. Do not depress the accelera tor

pedal while shifting from P (Park)

or N (Neutral) to R (Reverse), D

(Drive), L (Low) or manual shift

mode. Always depress the brake

pedal until s hifting is completed.

Failure to do so could cause you to

lose control and have an accident.

. Cold engine idle speed is high, so

use caution when shifting into a

forward or reverse gear before the

engine has warmed up.

. Never shift to P (Park) or R (Re-

verse) while vehicle is moving. Fail-

ure to do so could cause you to lose

control and have an accident.

CAUTION

. When stopping the vehicle on an

uphill grade, do not hold the vehicle

by depressing the accelerator pedal.

The foot brake should be used for

this purpose.

. Do not downshift abruptly on slip-

pery roads. This may cause a loss of

control.
