MANUAL SHIFT MODE (if equipped)
The Manual Shift Mode gives you the feel of driving a manual transmission
by allowing you to manually shift to control engine rpm and torque when
more control is desired.

- DOWN Shift Switch+ UP Shift Switch
NOTE: Steering Shift Switches
can be used in “D” or “M”.
ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
A AS will automatically adjust how and when the transmission shifts gears
based on road conditions and your driving style.
The transmission may stay in a lower gear longer than usual when going up or
down hills or driving around corners. This feature gives you better control and
a more connected driving experience.
(if equipped)
SPORT MODE (if equipped)
SPORT mode allows greater response and
control when driving on mountain roads
as well as on freeways by adjusting the
transmission shift schedule.
Fuel consumption increases slightly because
higher engine speeds (i.e., lower gear position) are used in
Sports mode compared to normal mode. Use Sports mode
and normal mode depending on the road conditions and
situation. The SPORT mode indicator light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated while in SPORT mode and is not illuminated
while in normal mode.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL KICKDOWN SWITCH*
The accelerator pedal is equipped with a
kickdown switch to give the driver more
control and to improve fuel economy.
When you depress the accelerator 95% of the
way, you will feel an increase in resistance.
Push harder, and you will feel a click as you
activate the kickdown switch. The transmission
will usually downshift (depending on engine
speed) and the engine will switch to maximum
power mode. This kickdown switch function is
the same in both Manual mode and in “D”.
*Available on vehicles with automatic transmission only.
NOTE: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HL A helps assist you when
accelerating the vehicle from
a stop while on a hill or slope.
When the brake pedal is released
and the accelerator pedal is pushed, HLA prevents the vehicle from rolling
forward or backward. It operates on a downward slope when the shift lever
is in the reverse (R) position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is
in a position other than the reverse (R) position.
