Drive modes
Downshift
When activated, this mode provides
maximum vehicle performance
when overtaking or, in conjunction
with the Uphill mode, driving up
steep gradients.
With the selector lever in position
D, the transmission will select the
appropriate gear according to the
position of the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator is pressed far
enough, a resistance point can be
felt. Maximum engine output is
achieved when the pedal is held
against this resistance point. The
transmission selects the optimum
gear for comfort and acceleration.
The transmission will change to the
next higher gear before the engine
speed approaches its upper limit.
The maximum possible acceleration
may not be achieved. Use the
Kickdown mode to achieve
maximum acceleration.
