Manual Mode
Manual Mode allows the driver to shift
gears manually. This feature can be used
to drive the vehicle in a sportier manner,
or to downshift when driving on a downhill
grade to provide engine braking.
1. Move the shift lever left to the
+/– position.
2. Tap the shift lever forward (+) to
upshift or rearward (–) to downshift. The
current gear will be displayed on the
Driver Information Center.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for
the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
When coming to a stop, the transmission
will downshift automatically.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
