Repeated continuous operation of the spor-

Shift ranges may not change when the lateral
paddle shifters are operated at the same time.

(the red-colored part of the tachometer dial).
Shift ranges can only be selected in a for-
ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse or
park the vehicle, move the selector lever to
the “R” or “P” position.
