Gear shifts can be performed by using the
select lever (all models) or the paddle shift
switch behind the steering wheel (if
equipped).

pushing the select lever toward the +

pulling the select lever toward the

Pull the + of the paddle shift to upshift
one level. Pull the of the paddle shift to
downshift one level.
To deselect the manual mode, return the
select lever to the D position from the
manual gate.
While driving, if you change the gear by
paddle shifting, the gear position indicator
illuminates and shows the current gear
condition. At this time, the normal mode
temporarily changes to the manual mode,
and after driving for a short period of time,
the transmission mode returns to the
normal mode. (The timing of the gear
change and return is different, depending
on the driving condition when paddle
shifting.)
Also, if you subsequently ease off the
accelerator pedal and then accelerate
again, the transmission will automatically
switch back from manual mode to normal
mode.
CAUTION
The paddle shift lev er could be
accidentally changed if accessories
or other materials are placed on the
paddle shift. Do not place acces-
sories and other materials on the
paddle shift lever.
& Driving tips
. On a road surface where there is a risk
of wheelspin (for example, a snow- or
gravel-covered road), you can pull away
from a standstill (safely and easily) by first
selecting the 2nd gear of the manual
mode.
. Always apply the foot or parking brake
when the vehicle is stopped in the D or
R position.
. Always set the parking brake when
parking your vehicle. Do not hold the
vehicle with only the transmission.
. Do not keep the vehicle in a stationary
position on an uphill grade by using the
D position. Use the brake instead.
