enters the manual shift mode. Shift ranges
can be selected manually. Shift ranges can
also be selected using the paddle shifters
(if so equipped) on the steering wheel

and

. When you pull the paddle shifter
while in the D (Drive) position, the transmis-
sion will shift to the upper or lower range
temporarily. If the paddle shifters are not
used for about 5–10 seconds, the transmis-
sion will automatically return to the D
(Drive) position. If you want to return to the
D (Drive) position manually, pull and hold
either paddle shifter for about 1.5 seconds.
In the manual shift mode, the shift range is
displayed on the position indicator in the
meter. When shifting the shift lever to the
manual shift gate, the position indicator
displays 1 (1st) up to 7 (7th) depending on
vehicle speed.
Shift ranges up or down one by one as
follows:
1⇔ 2 ⇔ 3 ⇔ 4 ⇔ 5 ⇔ 6 ⇔ 7
M7 (7th)
Use this position for all normal forward
driving at highway speeds.
M6 (6th) and M5 (5th)
Use this position when driving up long
slopes or for engine braking when driving
down long slopes.
M4 (4th), M3 (3rd) and M2 (2nd)
Use for hill climbing or engine braking on
downhill grades.
M1 (1st)
Use this position when climbing steep hills
slowly or driving slowly through deep snow,
sand or mud, or for maximum engine brak-
ing on steep downhill grades.
• Remember not to drive at high speeds for
extended periods of time in lower than
the 6th range. This reduces fuel economy.
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 rapidly to the same
side twice will shift the ranges in
succession.
• The transmission will automatically
downshift the gears. (For example, if you
select the 3rd range, the transmission will
shift down between the 3rd and 1st
gears.)
When canceling the manual shift mode
Return the shift lever to the D (Drive) posi-
tion to return the transmission to the nor-
mal driving mode.
• In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may not shift to the selected
gear. This helps maintain driving per-
formance and reduces the chance of
vehicle damage or loss of control.
