Manual Mode allows the driver to shift gears manually. This feature can be used to drive the vehicle in a sportier manner or to down-shift when driving on a downhill grade to
provide engine braking.

2. Press the + (plus) or – (minus) button on the side of the shift lever to upshift or downshift. The current gear will be displayed on the Driver Information Center.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shif\
