maintain lower transmission gears to
increase available engine braking and
improve acceleration response. The vehicle
will exit these features and return to Sport

short period when no spirited driving is
detected. See Driver Mode Control 0 224.

The shift pattern is displayed in the top of
the shift lever. The selected gear position
will illuminate red on the shift lever, while
all others will be displayed in white. If the

may flash until it is fully engaged.
The shift lever always starts from a center
position, represented by an up/down arrow
on the shift pattern. After releasing the shift
lever, it will return to the center position.
The transmission does not operate when the
vehicle is off.
