Activating Permanent Manual Mode

Activate whilst driving in D by moving
the gear selector to the right or left.

Using the Gear Selector

– Move the gear selector to the
right (toward "+") then release,
the transmission will remain in the
current gear automatically selected.
Continue to move the gear selector
lever to the right to shift up into
higher gears.
– Move the gear selector to the
left (toward "-") then release to
immediately shift down into the next
lower gear available.
Once in permanent mode you can also
use the paddle shifters and still remain
in permanent mode. The engine will not
automatically upshift before reaching
maximum engine speed (rpm), when in
permanent manual mode, but will still
downshift at minimum engine speed.
