WARNINGS
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting the transmission
selector lever out of reverse.
Move the transmission selector lever to
reverse to allow your vehicle to move
backward.
N (Neutral)
In this position, power is not transmitted
to the drive wheels but the transmission is
not locked. You can start the engine with
the transmission selector lever in this
position.
D (Drive)
Note: A shift will occur only when your
vehicle speed and the engine speed are
appropriate.
Select drive to shift automatically through
the forward gears.
The transmission will select the
appropriate gear for optimum performance
based on ambient temperature, road
gradient, vehicle load and your input.
Sport Mode and Manual Shifting
Sport mode
Note: In sport mode the transmission
operates as normal but gears are selected
more quickly and at higher engine speeds.
Note: In sport mode S will be shown in the
instrument cluster display.
Note: When towing heavy loads or in hilly
terrain, it is recommended that sport mode
is selected. This will result in cooler
transmission temperatures and additional
engine braking.

Transmission
Switch on sport mode by moving the
transmission selector lever from drive
position towards the driver. Sport mode
will remain on until either you shift
manually up or down the gears using +
and -.
Manual shifting
Do not hold the transmission selector
lever permanently in - or +.
The transmission will automatically
downshift when the engine speed is
too low.
E136209
Manual shifting can be done only when the
selector lever is in position S. Move the
transmission selector lever forward to
downshift and backward to upshift.
When the vehicle is stationary, only the 1st
and 2nd gears can be selected.
Manual shifting is sequential, therefore
gears cannot be skipped.
