The 6-speed automatic transmission has a Tap Shift mode that

M
(Manual Mode) position.
2. Using the buttons on the back of the steering wheel, tap the left
(

If current vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear,
the shift will not occur. When coming to a stop, the transmission
will automatically shift to 1st gear.
