Manual mode driving
To enter manual mode, shift the select lever to the M position.
Vehicles without Gear Shift Indicator: While the upshift/downshift indi-
cator light is illuminated, gears can be selected by operating the
select lever or paddle shift levers, allowing you to drive in the gear of
your choosing.
Vehicles with Gear Shift Indicator: When the Gear Shift Indicator is
on, gears can be selected by operating the select lever or paddle shift
levers, allowing you to drive in the gear of your choosing.
To help the driver achieve improved fuel economy and reduced
exhaust emissions, within the limits of engine performance, the Gear
Shift Indicator will flash to indicate the recommended upshift or down-
shift timing.
Even if upshifting operations are performed, if vehicle speed is too low for
the requested gear, the gear will not change.
