Manual shift mode (if equipped)
T32A130827-7DBE3DA8-E793-455A-A5EF-C0C301D4126A
When the shift lever is shifted from the “D”
position to the manual shift gate with the
vehicle stopped or while driving, the transmis-
sion enters the manual shift mode. Shift ranges
can be selected manually.
In the manual shift mode, the shift range is
displayed on the position indicator in the
meter.
Shift ranges up or down one by one as follows:
M1
?
/
M2
?
/
M3
?
/
M4
?
/
M5
?
/
M6
?
/
M7
. When shifting up, move the shift lever to
the + (up) side. (Shifts to higher range.)
. When shifting down, move the shift lever to
the (down) side. (Shifts to lower range.)
. Moving the shift lever to the same side
twice will shift the ranges in succession.
However, if this motion is rapidly done, the
second shifting may not be completed
properly.
M7 (Seventh):
GUID-572411AA-8577-490B-88E5-8F4E0E52D4D5
Use this position for all normal forward driving.
However, you need to shift down the gears
manually when accelerating or passing an-
other vehicle.
M6 (Sixth) and M5 (Fifth):
GUID-572411AA-8577-490B-88E5-8F4E0E52D4D5
Use these positions when driving up long
slopes, or for engine braking when driving
down long slopes.
M4 (Fourth), M3 (Third) and M2 (Second):
GUID-572411AA-8577-490B-88E5-8F4E0E52D4D5
Use these positions for hill climbing or engine
braking on downhill grades.
M1 (First):
GUID-572411AA-8577-490B-88E5-8F4E0E52D4D5
Use this position when climbing steep hills
slowly or driving slowly through deep snow,
sand or mud or for maximum engine braking
on steep downhill grades.
. Remember not to drive at high speeds for
extended periods of time in lower than M7
range. This reduces fuel economy.
. In the manual shift mode, the transmis-
sion automatically shifts down to M1
(First) before the vehicle comes to a stop.
When accelerating again, it is necessary
to shift up to the desired range.
. In the manual shift mode, the transmis-
sion may not shift to the selected gear.
This helps maintain driving performance
and reduces the chance of vehicle da-
mage or loss of control.
. When canceling the manual shift mode,
return the shift lever to the “D” position. The
transmission returns to the normal driving
mode.
. When the CVT/DCT fluid temperature is
extremely low, the manual shift mode may
not work and automatically shift as a drive
mode. This is not a malfunction. In this case,
return the shift lever to the “D” position and
drive for a while and then shift to the
manual shift mode.
. When the CVT/DCT fluid temperature is
high, the shift range may upshift in lower
rpm than usual. This is not a malfunction.
SPORT mode switch (models without
manual shift mode) (if equipped)
GUID-77438257-E1FF-4E69-99E9-6666774EFF45
JVS0208X
To select the SPORT mode, push the SPORT
mode switch with the shift lever in the “D”
(Drive) position. The SPORT mode indicator
light
in the meter panel illuminates. To
turn off the SPORT mode, push the SPORT
mode switch again. The SPORT mode indicator
light will turn off. When the shift lever is shifted
to any position other than “D” or “Ds”, the
SPORT mode will be automatically turned off.
“OFF” position:
GUID-572411AA-8577-490B-88E5-8F4E0E52D4D5
For normal driving and fuel economy, use the
“OFF” position.
“ON” position:
GUID-572411AA-8577-490B-88E5-8F4E0E52D4D5
For driving up or down long slopes where
engine braking is necessary, or for powerful
acceleration, use the “ON” position. The trans-
mission will automatically select a different
gear ratio, allowing the engine to provide high
output.
When driving conditions change, push the
switch to turn the SPORT mode off.
Remember not to drive at high speeds for
extended periods of time with the SPORT mode
Starting and driving 5-21
Condition: 'Except for China'/
