S Position Automatic Shift Mode and Sequential Shift Mode.

S P iti A t ti Shift M d
The S position has two shifting modes; the automatic shift mode and the
sequential shift mode. In the S position automatic shift mode, the
transmission upshifts and downshifts automatically from 1st through to 4th
gear, and the paddle shifters are ready to be activated to switch to the
sequential mode. In the automatic shift mode, the shift indicator and the M
indicator on the gauge A/T Gear Position Indicator does not come on.
When the paddle shifter + (upshift switch) or paddle shifter - (downshift When the paddle shifter
switch) is pulled, the automatic shift mode is cancelled and the sequential
shift mode comes into operation. The shift indicator displays the number of
the selected gear and the M indicator comes on. In the sequential shift mode,
the driver can shift up and down manually from 1st through to 5th gear by
using the paddle shifters much like a manual transmission using the paddle shifters, much like a manual transmission.
In the sequential shift mode, the transmission must be shifted up and down
by pulling the paddle shifters. However, the transmission cannot downshift
and stays in the current gear if the paddle shifter - (downshift switch) is
pulled while the vehicle is operating at a speed that would cause the engine
to over-rev were that downshift to occur, and the shift indicator blinks the
number of the selected gear for several seconds and then returns to the
number of the current gear
