wManual Shift Mode
Indicators
Shift position indicator
This mode gives you the feel of driving a
manual transaxle vehicle by operating the
shift lever and allows you to control
engine rpm and torque to the front wheels
much like a manual transaxle when more
control is desired.
In manual shift mode, the "M" of the shift
position indicator in the instrument panel
illuminates.
Gear position indicator
To change to manual shift mode, shift the
lever from D to M.
The numeral for the selected gear
illuminates.
Shift position
indicator
Gear position indicator
To return to automatic shift mode, shift
the lever from M to D.
NOTE
If the gears cannot be shifted down
when driving at higher speeds, the gear
position indicator will flash twice to
signal that the gears cannot be shifted
down.
NOTE
•
If you change to manual shift mode
when the vehicle is stopped, the
gear will shift to M1.
•
If you shift up once when the
vehicle is stopped and the gear is at
M1, the gear will shift to M2. M2 is
helpful for starting on slippery
surfaces.
