When the transmission is in D : The vehicle goes into sequential mode and the gear selection
indicator becomes more prominent. Sequential mode will cancel if you hold the (+) paddle
shifter for a few seconds, travel at a constant speed, come to a complete stop, or change to
another Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) mode.
Sequential mode automatically shifts if you press the accelerator pedal beyond the click, engine
speed nears the tachometer’s red zone, or engine speed reaches idle speed while decelerating.
When the transmission is in M: The vehicle goes into sequential mode, the gear position
indicator turns off and only the gear selection indicator is displayed. Sequential mode will
cancel if you press the D/M button, pull the (+) paddle shifter for a few seconds, or change the
Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) mode to QUIET.
Sequential mode automatically shifts up from 1st to 2nd but does not automatically shift up
between 2nd and 9th gear.
