when a gearshift is possible. When the
upshift indicator “
” is on, upshifting is
possible. When the downshift indicator
“
” is on, downshifting is possible. When
both indicators are on, upshifting and

Gearshifts can be performed using the
selector lever or the shift switch on the
steering wheel (turbo model only).

If you press the “+” button or “−” button of
the shift sw itch while driving with the
selector lever in the “D” p osition, the
manual mode will be selected. At this

the upshift indicator and downshift indica-
tor will come on.
If you subsequently ease off the accel-
erator pedal and then accelerate again,
the transmission will automatically switch
back from manual mode to normal mode.
NOTE
Please read the following points care-
fully and bear them in mind when using
the manual mode.

matic transmission fluid is higher than
normal, warning beeps are emitted and
the shift position indicator shows “−”.
If these warnings are issued, deselect
the manual mode to protect the auto-

oil is higher than normal, warning
beeps are emitted and the shift position
indicator shows “−”. If these warnings

. If you attempt to shift up when the
vehicle speed is too low, the transmis-
sion will not respond.
