D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift
through a 8-gear sequence, providing
the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill, depress the
accelerator fully. The transmission will
automatically downshift to the next
lower gear (or gears, as appropriate).
Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, manual shift mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D (Drive)
position into the manual gate. To return
to D (Drive) range operation, push the
shift lever back into the main gate.
In Manual Shift mode, moving the shift
lever backwards (B) and forwards (A) will
allow you to select the desired range of
gears for the current driving conditions.
+ (Up) : Pull the lever backwards(B) once
to shift up one gear.
- (Down) : Push the lever forward(A) once
to shift down one gear.
Only the eight forward gears can be
selected in Manual Shift Mode. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move the
shift lever to the R (Reverse) or P
(Park) position as required.
Downshifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.
When the engine RPM approaches the
red zone the transmission will upshift
automatically.
If the driver presses the lever to
+ (Up) or - (Down) position, the
transmission may not make the
requested gear change if the next gear
is outside of the allowable engine RPM
range. The driver must execute upshifts
in accordance with road conditions,
taking care to keep the engine RPMs
below the red zone.
