NOTE

Shifting up and down while in direct mode may

not be possible depending on the vehicle

speed. In addition, because direct mode is

canceled (released) depending on the rate of

acceleration or if the accelerator is fully

depressed, use of the manual shift mode is

recommended if you need to drive the vehicle

in a particular gear for long periods.

vehicle or climbing steep grades, depress

the accelerator fully. The transmission will

speed.
