However, even when in the M
position, the gear steps will be
automatically changed if the
engine speed is too high, or too
low.
■Gear step functions
●You can choose from 10 levels of
engine braking force.
●A lower gear step will provide
greater engine braking force than
a higher gear step, and the engine
speed will also increase.
■When the vehic le comes to a
stop with the shift lever in the M
position
●The transmission will automati-
cally downshift to M1 once the
vehicle is stopped.
●After a stop, the vehicle will start
off in M1.
●When the vehicle is stopped, the
transmission is set at M1.

shift lever or paddle shift switch (if
equipped) is operated. (A buzzer
will sound twice.)
