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 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 select lever left
from the “D” position into the “M” position to select manual mode. The gear position
indicator in the Combination Meter shows the currently selected gear from “M1” to “M6”.
Arrow-shaped indicators show when upshifting or downshifting is available. To shift gears,
use the paddle shift control switches behind the steering wheel or shift the select lever
toward the “+” or “-” side.
Paddle Shift Control Switches(if equipped)
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 select lever is in
the “D” position by pulling either
the “+” or “–” paddle toward you.
In this case, “D” and the selected
gear number will be displayed on
the combination meter.

with the select lever in the “D” position, the selected gear, from “D1” to “D6” is
displayed on the combination meter. To cancel sport mode, push the switch
toward “SPORT” mode again.
•Snow Mode: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.
