Refer to “Sports mode” on page5-80.The transmission prevents unnecessaryupshifts even when the accelerator pedal isreleased and ensures smooth driving.According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratioto achieve stronger engine braking. This mayhelp reduce your need
to use the service
