single number (1～7).
Toggle the shift lever or shift paddle to "+" to shift up to an
adjacent higher gear; toggle the shift lever or shift paddle
to "-" to shift down to an adjacent lower gear.
With Tiptronic Mode selected, if the driver makes an
unreasonable gear selection, such as requests an upshift
during low engine speeds, or requests a downshift during
high engine speeds, the transmission will not respond and
Starting & Driving
will remain in the current gear. When the vehicle drives
in a certain gear, and the engine speed is lower than a
certain value, the transmission will automatically downshift
to an adjacent low gear to avoid engine flameout; when
the vehicle accelerates, and the engine speed rises up
continuously to the maximum speed allowable by the gear,
the transmission will automatically upshift to adjacent high
gear to protect the engine if the upshift is not required.
To return to other gear modes, shift the lever across to
the left and select D.
