and pressing the top of the switch (+) triggers an upshift
(unless it would cause engine lugging). The transmission
will remain in the current gear until an upshift or

downshift as the vehicle slows to a stop (to prevent
engine lugging) and will display the current gear. Press-
ing the top of the switch (+) when at a stop will allow
starting in second gear. After a stop, the driver should
manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle is
accelerated.
