Downshifting

When you must slow down in heavy

traffic or on a steep upgrade, downshift

before the engine starts to overwork. This

gives better acceleration when you need

more speed.

On a steep downgrade, downshifting

helps maintain safe speed and prolongs

brake life.

qDirect Mode

Direct mode can be used for temporarily

switching gears by operating the steering

shift switch while the vehicle is being

driven with the selector lever in the D

range.

While in direct mode, the D and M

indicator lights illuminate and the gear

position in use is illuminated.
