→

M1)

To shift down to a lower gear with the

shift lever, tap the shift lever forward (-)

once.

To shift down to a lower gear with the

steering shift switches, press either of the

DOWN switches away from you once

with your thumb.

Sudden Engine-Braking:

Shifting down while driving on wet,

snowy, or frozen roads, or while

driving at high speeds causes sudden

engine braking, which is dangerous.

The sudden change in tire speed

could cause the tires to skid. This

could lead to loss of vehicle control

and an accident. Do not use sudden

engine braking on slippery road

surfaces or at high speeds.

NOTE

•

When driving at high speeds, the

gear may not shift down depending

on vehicle speed.

•

During deceleration, the gear may

automatically shift down depending

on vehicle speed.

•

When depressing the accelerator

fully, the transmission will shift to a

lower gear, depending on vehicle

speed.

WARNING

Hand Position When Using Steering

Shift Switches:

Putting your hands inside the rim of

the steering wheel when using the

steering shift switches is dangerous.

If the driver air bag were to deploy in

a collision, your hands could be

impacted causing injury. Keep your

hands on the steering wheel rim when

using fingers or thumbs on the

steering shift switches.
