● In the manual shift mode, the transmis-

sion may shift up automatically to a

higher range than selected if the en-

gine speed is too high. When the ve-

hicle speed decreases, the transmis-

sion automatically shifts down and

shifts to 1st gear before the vehicle

comes to a stop.

● CVT operation is limited to automatic drive

mode when CVT fluid temperature is ex-

tremely low even if manual shift mode is

selected. This is not a malfunction. When

CVT fluid warms up, manual mode can be

selected.

● When the CVT fluid temperature is high, the

shift range may upshift in lower rpm than

usual. This is not a malfunction.
