The vehicle starts out in second 
gear (both forward and reverse) for 
gentler starts. This does not apply if 
full throttle is applied or gear 
range 1 is selected.

Traction and driving stability are 
improved on icy roads.

앫

Upshifts occur earlier even when 
you give more gas. The engine then 
operates at lower rpms and the 
wheels are less likely to spin.

The power transmission ratio for 
gear selector lever position R 
changes depending on the program 
mode selected (S or C).

mode only second gear and reverse gear 
can be activated.
