Automatic Transmission
Shift Mode
The 5-Speed automatic transmission or the
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) gives
you ultimate control with two different driving
modes: Normal Mode and Manual Mode.
Normal Mode
When the selector lever is in the “D” (Drive)
position, the transmission is in Normal
shift mode. The shift position indicator on
the instrument panel shows “D” and the
transmission automatically shifts into a
suitable forward gear.
Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, you select the desired gear
position to obtain necessary acceleration and engine braking. Moving the selector
lever left into the manual gate
1 from “D”
(Drive) position causes the transmission
to change into Manual Mode. To shift, use
the paddle shift control switches. The shift
position indicator shows the selected
gear position.
