Gear shifting is only carried out at
the appropriate engine RPM and
vehicle speed.
■Short-term manual operation
In selector lever position D, operat-
ing a shift paddle causes the sys-
tem to switch to manual operation

The gearbox reverts to automatic
operation from manual operation
after a certain period of time of
moderate driving without accelera-
tion or gear shifts using the shift
paddles.
Changing to automatic operation is

Pull and hold the right shift pad-
dle until D is shown in the instru-
ment cluster.
In addition to pulling the right
shift paddle, pull the left shift
paddle.
