DRIVING THE VEHICLE
Automatic Transmission Shift Mode
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
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 select 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 gears, 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 select 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.
