OPERATING THE VEHICLE

DRIVING THE VEHICLE

6-Speed Manual Transmission
This manual transmission is a fully synchronised 6-forward and 1-reverse speed
transmission. Before you can shift into reverse gear, you must raise the slider ring and hold
it in that position. Only pull the slider ring up when shifting into reverse gear.
Automatic Transmission Shift Mode
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
is electronically controlled and provides two
different driving modes: normal and manual or
normal and low.
Normal Mode
When the selector lever is in the "D" (Drive)
position, the transmission is in normal shift
mode. The select lever position indicator in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) shows "D"
and the transmission automatically shifts into a
suitable forward gear.
Manual Mode (if equipped)
In manual mode, you select the desired gear
position to obtain necessary acceleration and
engine braking. Move the selector lever left from the "D" position into the "M" position to
select manual mode. The gear position indicator in the Combination Meter Display (CMD)
shows the currently selected gear. Arrow-shaped indicators show when upshifting or
downshifting is available. To shift, use the paddle shift control switches behind the steering
wheel.
Low Mode (if equipped)
Low Mode is for using engine braking when going down hill, etc. Moving the selector lever
left into the "L" position from the "D" (Drive) position causes the transmission to change
into Low Mode. The shift position indicator shows "L" as the selected gear.
