Paddle Shift Control Switches (if equipped)
• Temporary use: Even when the selector is in the
“D” (Drive) position, you can temporarily shift the
gear by pulling the “+” or “–” paddle shift control
switch. The transmission will automatically
switch back to Normal Mode.
• When the selector lever is in Manual Mode,
shift to the next higher gear by pulling the “+” paddle shift cont\
rol switch on the steering
wheel. Pull the “–” paddle shift control switch to shift into the next lower gear.
Manual Shifting Operation
Arrow-shaped lights in the center of the instrument panel show whether an u\
pshift is possible
and whether a downshift is possible.

Automatic Transmission Shift Mode
The 5-speed automatic transmission or the Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) gives you ultimate control with two different driving modes: Normal Mode
and Manual Mode.
Normal Mode
When the selector lever is in the “D” (Drive) position, the tran\
smission is in Normal
shift mode. The shift position indicator on the instrument panel shows “\
D” and the
transmission automatically shifts into a suitable forward gear.
Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, you select the desired gear position to obtain necessary
acceleration and engine braking. Moving the selector lever left into the\
manual gate
1 from the “D” (Drive) position causes the transmission to change in\
to Manual
Mode. To shift, use the paddle shift control switches. The shift position indicator
shows the selected gear position.
