Automatic Transmission
Manual ( 3 / M ) — With the console
shift lever in this position, you can
use the manual shift lever on the
right pod to shift gears; much like a
manual transmission without a
clutch pedal. Each time you push up
on the manual shift lever, the
transmission will shift up to the next
higher gear. Push down on the lever
to downshift. The number of the
selected gear is displayed next to the
" M " indicator (See page
133 ).
If you move the console shift lever
from "D" to " 3 / M " while the car is
moving, the transmission remains in
the gear it was in. If you do this
while stopped, the transmission
selects first gear.
When you accelerate away from a
stop, the transmission will be in first
gear. If you do not manually upshift
to second gear, the transmission will
automatically upshift when the
engine reaches redline, or when you
reduce pressure on the accelerator
pedal. It will remain in second gear
until you either upshift manually or
come to a stop.
The transmission remains in the
selected gear (4, 3, or 2). There is no
automatic downshift when you push
the accelerator pedal to the floor.
The only time it will shift
automatically is when the car comes
to almost a complete stop. It will then
downshift to first gear.
If you try to manually downshift at a
speed that would cause the engine to
exceed the redline in the lower gear,
the transmission will not downshift.
If that downshift is from second gear
to first gear, the gear indicator will
flash " 1 " several times, then return
to "2".
