The gear changes once every time the
shift lever or paddle shift switch is oper-
ated.

fixed and displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
When in the M position, the gear will not change unless the shift lever or pad-
dle shift switches are operated.

changed in the following situation:
●
When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
●
When the accelerator pedal is depressed further, while driving (downshift
only).
●
When the needle of the tachometer is in the red zone (the range which
exceeds the allowable revs of the engine).
