■ Changing gears in the "M" position
Operating the shift lever or paddle shift switches allows a gear to be selected and held, enabling
you to time gear shifts as you please while driving.
In "M" mode, the gear will change only when the shift lever or paddle shift switches are
operated. However, when the vehicle speed drops the gear will be automatically down-
shifted.
