Manual Mode; Shifting In The Manual Mode; Using The Shift Paddle - Suzuki IGNIS Series 2016 Owner's Manual

Manual mode (models with manual
mode)
The CVT can shift gears automatically.
When using the manual mode, you can
shift gears in the same manner as conven-
tional manual transaxle.
To use the manual mode, shift the gearshift
lever from "D" to "M".

(1) Manual mode indicator
(2) Gear position
The information display shows the manual
mode indicator (1) and the current gear
position (2).
NOTE:
• The indicated gear position on the infor-
mation display when you shift from "D" to
"M" is the gear position that was
selected automatically when the gear-
shift lever was in "D".
• You can change to the manual mode
temporarily by pulling the shift paddle on
the steering wheel toward you when the
gearshift lever is in "D".

Shifting in the manual mode

You can shift gears from 1st to 7th depend-
ing on driving speed.
NOTE:
• When the engine is revved, the gear is
shifted up automatically to prevent dam-
age to the engine and the transaxle.

• When the driving speed becomes slow,
the gear shifts down automatically, and
when the vehicle stops, the gear position
will be in 1st gear without shifting the
gearshift lever.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal a
certain amount, the gear shifts down
automatically even if the gearshift lever
is in the manual mode.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
When you change gear, sometimes the
transaxle may not shift to the desired gear
but a buzzer sounds instead. This is to
maintain good drivability and to protect the
transaxle.

Using the shift paddle

To shift up, pull the "+" side shift paddle,
located on right side of the steering wheel,
toward you. When you release your finger
from the switch, the switch will return to the
original position.
