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.
If the vehicle speed decreases
below the redline of the selected
lower gear while the indicator is
flashing, the transmission
downshifts, and the indicator
displays the selected gear.
●
You upshift before the engine
speed reaches the lowest
threshold of the higher gear.
●
You pull both paddle shifters at the
same time.
●
You pull one of the two paddle
shifters while another paddle
shifter is being pressed.
Starting in Second Gear
When you are in sequential shift
mode, and the vehicle is stopped,
pull the
+
(right) paddle shifter to
shift to second gear. You will see
‘‘
M2
’’
in the display. Starting in
second gear helps to reduce
wheelspin in deep snow or on a
slippery surface.
