ROAD TEST
This test is to check if upshift and downshift take place at specified speed while actually driving vehicle on a level road.

WARNING:
- Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an accident
- Test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.

1) Warm up engine.
2) With engine running at idle, shift select lever "D".
3) Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal gradually.





4) While driving in "D" range, check if gear shift occurs properly as shown in Gear Shift Diagram.


Automatic Gear Shift Diagram
Automatic shift schedule as a result of shift control is shown below.





















- If the select lever is shifted to L at a higher than 52 km/h (32.5 mile/h) speed, 2nd gear is operated and then down shifts to 1st at a speed lower than that. No up shift is available in L.

- The same manner, if the select lever is shifted to 2 at a higher than 100 km/h (62.5 mile/h) speed, 3rd gear is operated and then down shifts to 2nd at a speed lower than that. No up shift is available in 2.
