uuWhen Driving uShifting
338
Driving
Use the paddle shifters to change betw een 1st and 7th speeds without removing 
your hands from the steering wheel. The transmission switches to the 7-speed 
manual shift mode when you pull a paddle shi fter while driving. This mode is useful 
when engine braking is needed.
■When the shift lever is in (D:
The shift mode goes into the 7-speed ma nual shift mode temporarily, and the 
number is displayed in the shift indicator.
The 7-speed manual shift mode is canceled  automatically if you drive at constant 
speed or accelerate, and the number in the shift indicator goes off.
You can cancel this mode by pulling th e   paddle shifter for a few seconds.
The 7-speed manual shift mode is especially useful when  reducing the vehicle speed 
temporarily before making a turn.
■When the shift lever is in (S:
The shift mode goes into the 7- speed manual shift mode. The M indicator and the 
speed number are displayed in the shift indicator. As the vehicle speed slows down, 
the transmission automatically shifts down  accordingly. When the vehicle comes to 
a stop, it automatically shifts down into 1st.
If the vehicle speed increases and the engi ne speed reaches near the tachometer’s 
red zone, the transmission automatically shifts up.
You can only pull away in 1st speed.
When canceling the 7-speed manual sh ift mode, move the shift lever from 
(S to 
(D. When the 7-speed manual shift mode is canceled, the M indicator and shift 
indicator go off.
■7-Speed Manual Shift Mode1 7-Speed Manual Shift Mode
To improve fuel economy,  the transmission may shift 
up to a higher speed than  the seventh under certain 
circumstances. In this case, the number in the shift 
indicator remains as  7.
In the 7-speed manual shif t mode, the transmission 
shifts up or down by opera ting either paddle shifter 
under the following conditions:
Shift Up: The engine sp eed reaches the lowest 
threshold of the higher speed position.
Shift Down: The engine sp eed reaches the highest 
threshold of the lower speed position.
When the engine speed reaches near the 
tachometer’s red zone, the transmission shifts up 
automatically.
When the engine speed reaches the lowest threshold 
of the selected speed positi on, the transmission shifts 
down automatically.
Operating the paddle shifte rs on slippery surfaces 
may cause the tires to lock up. In this case, the 7-
speed manual shift mode is  canceled and goes back 
to the normal D driving mode.
