■Changing shift ranges in the D position
Operating the paddle shift switches allows shift ranges to be selected to suit the driving con-
ditions.
Pull the “-” paddle shift switch toward you.
The indicator in the meter cluster will
change to display the selected shift range.
Higher shift range:
Pull the “+” paddle shift switch toward you.
Lower shift range:
Pull the “-” paddle shift switch toward you.
Pulling and holding the “+” paddle shift switch for a certain period of time allows you to
return to normal D position driving. If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a
certain period of time in one range, shift range selection in the D position will be automati-
cally deactivated.

■Changing gears in the M position
Operating the shift lever or paddle shift switches allows a gear to be selected and held,
enabling you to time gear shifts as you please while driving.

Move the shift lever in the “+” direction, or
pull the “+” paddle shift switch toward you.

In M mode, the gear will change only when the shift lever or paddle shift switches are oper-
ated. However, when the vehicle speed drops the gear will be automatically downshifted.
