Manual mode driving
To enter manual mode, shift the shift lever to the M position.
When the Gear Shift Indicator is on, gears can be selected by operat-
ing the shift lever or paddle shift switches (if equipped), allowing you
to drive in the gear of your choosing.
The Gear Shift Indicator display is a guide to help the driver achieve
improved fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions within limits
of engine performance.
Even if upshifting operations are performed, if vehicle speed is too low for
the requested gear, the gear will not change.

Downshift indicator
Upshifting (+)
Downshifting (-)
Each time the shift lever or pad-
dle shift switches are operated,
the gear changes up or down
one gear and the selected gear,
“1” through “6”, will be set.
The selected gear, from “1” to “6”,
and “M” will be displayed on the
shift position and shift range indi-
cator.
When in manual mode, the gear will not change unless the shift lever
or paddle shift switches are operated.
However, even when in manual mode, the gears will be automatically
changed in the following situations:
●When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
●When engine oil temperature is high and engine speed rises close
to the red zone.

shift lever operation may not be possible. Depress the brake pedal before
shifting the shift lever out of P.
■Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
If downshifting operations are performed at a vehicle speed by which down-
shifting is not possible (when downshifting will cause the engine speed to
enter the red zone), a buzzer will sound to warn the driver that downshifting
cannot be performed.
■When driving with cruise control activated (if equipped)
Downshifting can be performed even when using cruise control. After down-
shifting, the set speed continues. (→P. 184, 186)
■Sport mode
●In sport mode, lower gears are used and gears change at a higher
engine speed.
●If sport mode is changed to while the shift lever is in the M position, the
“SPORT” indicator will come on but sport mode controls will not be car-
ried out. Shift the shift lever to the D position.
●Sport mode cannot be changed to when driving with cruise control acti-
vated.

To prevent slipping, 1
st gear cannot be selected when in snow mode.
