●
To access the (M)anual shifting position from (D)rive, move the gear selector to the right to M.
●
To return to the (D)rive position from M, move the gear selector to the left.
pg. 104 Automatic transmission - Geartronic
While driving
●
If you select the M position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (D)rive position will
also initially be selected in M position.
●
Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "-") to shift
to a lower gear.
●
If you hold the gear selector toward "-", the transmission will downshift one gear at a time and will
utilize the braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the
downshift will not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used.
●
If you slow to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down.
W - Winter/Wet driving mode - enhanced vehicle traction
Mode W reduces torque at the wheels, which helps improve traction when starting off on a slippery
surface.
Press the button near the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage this driving mode.
●
A "W" will be displayed in the instrument panel when Winter/Wet driving mode is engaged.
●
Mode W will only function if the gear selector is in the (D)rive position.
Once underway, turn off mode W to improve vehicle performance and fuel economy.
Cold starts (turbo engines)
When driving before the engine has reached its normal operating temperature, the transmission will shift
up at slightly higher engine speeds to heat the three-way catalytic converter as quickly as possible.
Kickdown
Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and
briskly. An upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the
accelerator pedal slightly. Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway
speeds.
NOTE: The gear selector must be in the D (Drive) position for kickdown to function.
