MANUAL MODE SHIFT CONTROL STRUCTURE [FS5A-EL]


id051721108300

Features

• The manual mode shift control is activated by moving the selector lever from the D to M range position (selector lever is shifted over toward driver side).
• Manual mode shift control with a manual shifting system allowing selection of gear positions by manual operation of the selector lever forward (-) and back (+) has been adopted. Moreover, engine braking for all gears in manual mode according to the gear ratio is available.
- Shifting between 1GR and 2GR when the vehicle is stopped is possible. Moreover, when shifting from the D to M range while driving, the same gear position is maintained.
- Consecutive shifting in the M range has been adopted. When shifting down from M range 5GR, 4GR or 3GR, one gear can be skipped over by rapidly tapping the selector lever two times in the down-shift (-) direction.
• Selector lever position and gear position indicator lights, built into the instrument cluster, have been adopted. The gear position indicator light displays the selected gear position.
- The selector indicator light includes a selector lever position indicator that displays selector lever positions and, a gear position indicator light that displays gear positions.
• If the ATF temperature reaches 130 °C {266 °F} or more while driving in manual shift mode, the gear position indicator illumination turns off and the transaxle switches to auto shift mode to reduce load on the ATX. After a period of time has passed and the ATF temperature decreases to 120 °C {248 °F} or less, the gear position indicator illumination turns back on and driving in manual shift mode is restored.
