Understanding the gearshift positions of the Continuously Variable

Transaxle (CVT)

The CVT is a fully automatic transaxle that electronically monitors

vehicle system inputs and outputs and driver demands to select the

desired drive ratio. Unlike traditional automatic transmissions/transaxles,

the CVT continually adjusts the optimum overall drive ratio between

engine and drive wheels for all operating conditions.

As traditional automatic transmissions/transaxles shift up or down in

gears, this shifting in gear ratios is noticeable by increasing and

decreasing engine RPM which causes a slight energy loss as the gears

change. The gear changes can be felt by the driver.

With the CVT, there is no energy transfer loss from shifting because

there is no gear shifting up or down. Acceleration up to vehicle operating

speed is smooth and continuous; uninterrupted by gear shifting. The

same holds true for coasting down to idle; smooth and continuous.

Unlike traditional automatic transmissions/transaxles, the CVT offers

more responsive performance and increased fuel economy.

P (Park)

This position locks the transaxle and prevents the front wheels from

turning.

To put your vehicle in gear:

• Depress the brake pedal

• Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear
