Automatic Transmission Shift Modes
(if equipped)
The automatic transmission gives you vehicle control with two different driving
modes: Normal Mode and Manual Mode.
Normal Mode
When the selector lever is in the “D” (Drive) position, the transmission is in
Normal shift mode. The shift position indicator on the instrument panel shows
“D”, and the transmission automatically shifts into a suitable forward gear.
Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, you select the desired gear position to obtain necessary
acceleration and engine braking. Moving the selector lever left into the manual
gate

from the “D” (Drive) position causes the transmission to change into
Manual Mode. To shift, use the paddle shift control switches. The shift position
indicator shows the selected gear position.
