Driving Your Vehicle
Manual shift mode
[A] : + (Up), [B] : - (Down)
Manual shift mode may be selected by
simply toggling the shift lever to the
left (toward the driver) into the manual
shift gate. If your vehicle is currently in D
(Drive), then the gear shift display in the
instrument cluster will change from 'D' to
the number of the current gear.
In manual shift mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will allow
you to select the desired range of gears
for the current driving conditions.
+ (Up) : Push the lever forward once to
shift up one gear.
- (Down) : Pull the lever backwards
once to shift down one gear.

• Only the eight forward gears can be
selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.
• Downshifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.
• When the engine RPM approaches the
red zone the transmission will upshift
automatically.

• If the driver presses the lever to + (Up)
or - (Down) position, the transmission
may not make the requested gear
change if the next gear is outside of
the allowable engine RPM range.
The driver must execute upshifts in
accordance with road conditions,
taking care to keep the engine RPMs
below the red zone.
• When driving on a slippery road, push
the shift lever forward into the + (Up)
position. This causes the transmission
to shift into the 2nd gear which is better
for smooth driving on a slippery road.
Push the shift lever to the - (Down) side
to shift back to the 1st gear.
