To shift up or down, use the ＋

(right) or － (left) paddle shifter on

either side of the steering wheel.

Each time you pull ＋ (right), the

transmission shifts to a higher gear.

Pull － (left) to downshift. You will

see the selected gear number on the

instrument panel.

When you pull either paddle shifter,

the gear position indicator shows you

the selected gear number.

The transmission control system

monitors the accelerator pedal use

and your driving conditions. When

you press the accelerator pedal as in

normal driving, the system judges

that you are driving at a constant

cruising speed without using the

paddle shifters. Under these

conditions, D-paddle shift mode is

canceled, and the transmission

automatically returns to drive mode

(D).

Hold the ＋ (right) paddle shifter for

2 seconds to return to drive mode

(D).

When the transmission returns to

drive mode (D), the displayed gear

number goes out.

The transmission remains in the

selected gear if you do not

accelerate.

Each time you pull either paddle

shifter, the transmission shifts one

gear up or down. If you want to shift

up or down more than two gears, pull

the paddle shifter twice, pause, and

then pull it again.

The automatic transmission will not

allow you to shift up or down if:

●

You downshift before the engine

speed reaches the highest

threshold of the lower gear.

If you try to do this, the gear

position indicator will flash the

number of the lower gear several

times, then return to a higher gear.

●

You upshift before the engine

speed reaches the lowest

threshold of the higher gear.

●

You press both paddle shifters at

the same time.
