California Perchlorate Advisory
Certain vehicle components, such as airbag
modules, seatbelt pretensioners and
keyless entry transmitter batteries, may
contain perchlorate material. Special
handling may apply for service or vehicle
end of life disposal...
The continuously variable transmission is
electronically controlled and provides an
infinite number of forward speeds and 1
reverse speed. It also has a manual mode
or an “L” position.
NOTE
When the engine coolant temperature
is still low, the transmission will
shift at higher engine speeds than
when the coolant temperature is sufficiently
high in order to shorten the
warm-up time and improve driveability...
