Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, manual shift mode is
selected by pushing the shift lever
from the D (Drive) position into the
manual gate. To return to D (Drive)
range operation, push the shift lever
back into the main gate.
In manual shift mode, moving the
shift lever backwards and forwards
will allow you to make gearshifts rap-
idly.

gear. Information
 Only the seven forward gears can be selected in Manual Shift Mode. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse) or
P (Park) position as required.
 Downshifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When
the vehicle stops, 1st gear is auto-
matically selected.
 When the engine rpm approaches the red zone the transmission will
upshift automatically.
 If the driver presses the lever to + (Up) or - (Down) position, the
transmission may not make the
requested gear change if the next
gear is outside of the allowable
engine rpm range. The driver must
execute upshifts in accordance with
road conditions, taking care to keep
the engine rpms below the red zone.

tion or the manual shift mode.

tion
The paddle shifter will operate when
the vehicle speed is more than10km/h. Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once

(Reverse) position with the brake
pedal depressed, continue depress-
ing the brake, and then do the follow-ing: 1. Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
