NOTE

l

When driving slowly, the gears may not

shift up depending on vehicle speed.

l

In manual shift mode, gears do not shift up

automatically. Don't run the engine with the

tachometer needle in the RED ZONE. If the

tachometer needle enters the RED ZONE,

you may feel engine-braking because the

fuel delivery will be stopped to protect the

engine. However, this does not indicate an

abnormality.

l

When depressing the accelerator fully, the

transmission will shift to a lower gear,

depending on vehicle speed.

Manually Shifting down

(M6→M5→M4→M3→M2→M1)

To shift down to a lower gear, 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.

DOWN switches

WARNING

Do not use engine braking on slippery

road surfaces or at high speeds:

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.

Keep your hands on the steering wheel

rim when using fingers or thumbs on

the 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.
