The information display shows the manual
mode indicator and the current gear posi-
tion.
NOTE:
• The indicated gear position in the infor-
mation display when you shift from "D" to
"M" is the gear position that was
selected automatically when the gear-
shift lever was in "D".
• You can change to the manual mode
temporarily by pulling the shift paddle on
the steering wheel toward you when the
gearshift lever is in "D".
Shifting in the manual mode
You can shift gears from 1st to 6th depend-
ing on driving speed.
NOTE:
• When the driving speed becomes slow,
the gear shifts down automatically, and
when the vehicle stops, the gear position
will be in 1st gear without shifting the

• In Manual mode, even if the engine is
redlined, the gear is not shifted up auto-
matically.

NOTE:
When you change gear, sometimes the
transmission may not shift to the desired
gear but a buzzer sounds instead. This is
to maintain good driveability and to protect
the transmission.

located on right side of the steering wheel,
toward you. When you release your finger
from the switch, the switch will return to the
original position.
To shift down, pull "–" side shift paddle,
located on left side of the steering wheel,
toward you. When you release your finger
