Driving your vehicle
CAUTION
With the exception of parking in
neutral gear, always park the
vehicle in "P" (Park) for safety and
engage the parking brake.
Before parking in "N" (Neutral)
gear, first make sure the parking
ground is level and flat. Do not
park in "N" gear on any slopes or
gradients.
If parked and left in "N", the vehi
cle may move and cause serious
damage and injury.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through a 7 gear sequence,
providing the best fuel economy and
power.
For extra power when passing
another vehicle or driving uphill
depress the accelerator pedal fur
ther until you feel the transmission
downshift to a lower gear.
To stop the vehicle during driving,
please press brake pedal fully to
prevent unintended movement.
Dual clutch transmission (DCT)
Sports mode
OSP2I059005
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, sports 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.
SPORT mode manages the driving
dynamics by automatically adjusting
the steering effort, and the engine
and transmission control logic for
enhanced driver performance.
In sports mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will
allow you to make gearshifts rap
idly. In contrast to a manual trans
mission, the sports mode allows
gearshifts with the accelerator
pedal depressed.
Up (+): Push the lever forward
once to shift up one gear.
Down (-): Pull the lever backwards
once to shift down one gear.
