Shift Patterns

SHIFT PATTERNS

- Two shift patterns are pre-stored in the control module of this transaxle.
- One is the Power pattern (for more powerful performance) land the other is the Normal pattern (for improved fuel consumption and quieter operation).
- The driver can select and switch to the desired pattern by using the Power/Normal select switch on the center console.
- The solid lines shown in these shift patterns indicate up-shifts; the broken lines indicate down-shifts.
- The reason why there is a difference between the shift points for up-shifts and down-shifts is so that up-shifts and down-shifts will not occur frequently when driving at a speed near the shift point.
- When the vehicle is stopped, there is a shift to second gear in order to obtain a suitable "creeping." Then, when the accelerator pedal is depressed, the vehicle starts in first gear.
