Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control allows you to shift gears similar to a manual transmission.
Move the shift lever to the Manual (M) position (A), left of the Drive position; tap the lever forward to upshift and rearward to downshift. The current gear selection is shown in the DIC.
If current vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shift will not occur. When coming to a stop, the transmission will automatically downshift.

The ECO mode can improve the vehicle’s fuel economy by changing the transmission shift points and making other fuel-saving adjustments. Driving performance is more conservative when the ECO mode is active.
