by pulling the “+”
paddle shift control switch on the steering wheel. Pull the “–” paddle shift cont\
rol switch
to shift into the next lower gear.

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.
