Temporarily changing gears by operating the shift paddle while AT
mode is selected
You can temporarily change gears by operating the shift paddles
even while AT mode is selected.
When operating the shift paddles while AT mode is selected, the D
displayed in the gear position indicator changes to a gear position
number (1 – 5).
Because the gear change is temporary, the vehicle automatically
returns to normal AT mode under the following conditions:
• When the shift paddles are not operated for a prescribed time
• When the vehicle speed is reduced or increased beyond the
automatic shifting speed
