Automatic Transmission Shift Mode(if equipped)
The transmission is electronically controlled
and provides two different driving modes:
normal and manual.
Normal Mode
When the select lever is in the “D” (Drive)
position, the transmission is in normal shift
mode. The select lever position indicator in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) 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. Move the selector lever left
from the “D” position into the “M” position to select manual mode. The gear position
indicator in the Combination Meter Display (CMD) shows the currently selected gear.
Arrow-shaped indicators show when upshifting or downshifting is available. To shift, use
the paddle shift control switches behind the steering wheel.
Paddle Shift Control Switches
• You can shift gears using the paddle shift control
switches. To upshift to the next higher gear, pull the
“+” paddle on the right toward you. To downshift to
the next lower gear, pull the “–” paddle on the left
toward you.
• You can temporarily shift gears even when the
selector lever is in the “D” position by pulling either
the “+” or “–” paddle toward you. Once vehicle
speed stabilizes, the transmission will switch back to normal mode.

DRIVING SYSTEMS/MODES
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following systems operate
automatically in response to various driving
situations.
1If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or
snow, the traction control system may
reduce power from the engine to the
wheels. Turning the system off may make
it easier for you to rock the vehicle in
order to free it. Press the button again to
turn the traction control back on.
2Your vehicle may be equipped with two
types of control modes to accommodate various driving preferences. The control
modes can be selected with the “TRACK” button. Normal mode allows secure and
smooth normal driving. When the button is pressed and held for one second, TRACK
mode is activated. The driving threshold parameters are raised, allowing the driver
more control over the vehicle.
3If equipped, push the switch toward the “SPORT” mode for sporty driving or when
driving in mountainous regions with lots of curves. To cancel sport mode, push the
switch toward “SPORT” mode again.
If equipped, push the switch toward the “SNOW” mode for accelerating and driving
on slippery road surfaces, such as snow. To cancel snow mode, push the switch
toward “SNOW” mode again.
