Set up mode Features
. In addition to the normal mode functions, this mode allows you to achieve higher
engine speed, greater powertrain torque and engine braking.
Normal
(light is off)
. For everyday driving an appropriate gear position is automatically selected for optimal
fuel mileage.
. This mode controls powertrain torque on snowy roads and slippery surfaces making
starting and driving easier.
&
M position:
Set up mode Features
. This mode allows you to shift gears more quickly than the normal mode.
. This mode will not allow the transmission to automatically upshift even when the
engine speed reaches the red zone. Do not rev the engine into the red zone.
. When the engine speed is low, downshift will be automatically carried out to ensure
driving performance.
Normal
(light is off)
. Upshift will be automatically carried out just before the red zone to prevent excessive
engine speed.
. When the engine speed is low, downshift will be automatically carried out to ensure
driving performance.
NOTE:
The SNOW mode cannot be selected with the transmission in the

M position.
NOTICE
. When the engine speed approaches
the red zone, shift to a higher gear
or reduce the engine speed. Operat-
ing the engine in the red zone may
cause serious engine damage.
. Quick shifting in the R mode with
the transmission in the
&
M position
is available when the engine speed
is high. However, the transmission
may shift more slowly when the
engine speed is low. This does not
indicate that there is a malfunction.
