The gear changes once every time the pad-
dle shift switch is operated.
The selected gear, from M1 to M6, will be
fixed and displayed on the meter.
Selecting gears in the M position
When in the M position, the gear will not change unless the paddle shift switches are oper-
ated. Also, the gear will not shif t when the vehicle speed is low, even if an upshift operation is
performed.
However, even when in the M position, the gears will be automatically changed in the fol-
lowing situations:
● When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
● When vehicle speed increases (upshift only).
● When the accelerator pedal is firmly depressed.
● When it is necessary to protect the transm ission when the transmission fluid tempera-
ture is high or low, or other reasons.
