An S will be displayed in the DIC.
Within Sport Mode there is a
further performance feature
called Performance Mode Lift
Foot (PMLF) Mode. The feature
is activated automatically when
sports oriented driving is
detected, based on cornering and
on/off throttle application. PMLF
allows the transmission to hold
the current gear instead of
upshifting when the throttle is
lifted.
2. To enter M (Manual Mode), press
the shift lever forward to upshift
or rearward to downshift.
An M will be displayed in the DIC.
The tachometer display on the
instrument panel cluster will show
which gear the vehicle is in. The
number indicates the requested gear
range when moving the shift lever
forward or rearward. See
Tachometer on page 4-15 for more
information.
While using the DSC feature, the
vehicle will have firmer, quicker
shifting. You can use this for sport
driving or when climbing or
descending hills, to stay in gear
longer, or to down shift for more
power or engine braking.
The transmission will only allow you
to shift into gears appropriate for the
vehicle speed and engine
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). The
transmission will not automatically
shift to the next lower gear if the
engine RPM is too high, nor to the
next higher gear when the maximum
engine RPM is reached.
If shifting is prevented for any
reason, the currently selected gear
will flash multiple times, indicating
that the transmission has not shifted
gears.
