Manual Shift Mode
The manual shift mode gives you the feel of
driving a manual transmission vehicle by
allowing you to operate the gear selector
manually.
This allows you to control engine RPM and
torque to the drive wheels much like a
manual transmission when more control is
desired.
To change to MANUAL (M) shift mode, shift
the gear selector from DRIVE (D) to MANUAL
(M). To return to automatic shift mode, shift
the gear selector from MANUAL (M) to
DRIVE (D).
You can shift between DRIVE (D) and
MANUAL (M) mode at any time, without
taking your foot off the accelerator.
NOTE:
If you change to manual shift mode when
the vehicle is stopped, the gear will shift to
M1.
If you change to manual shift mode while
the vehicle is moving it will remain in the
current gear until a manual shift request is
made.
