every time the shift lever or paddle
shift switch is operated.
The selected gear step, from 1 to
7, will be displayed on the multi-

However, even when in the M position, the gear steps will be automat-
ically changed if the engine speed is too high, or too low.
■Gear step functions

braking force.
● A lower gear step will provide greater accelerating force and
engine braking force than a higher gear step, and the engine rev-
olutions will also increase.
