The transmission will shift to the next
higher gear as permitted by the shift
program. This action simultaneously
extends the gear range of the transmis-
sion.
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift
in order to obtain braking action. This could
result in drive wheel slip and reduced
vehicle control. Your vehicle’s ABS will not
prevent this type of loss of control.
The transmission will shift from the
current gear range directly to gear
range D.
i If you press on the accelerator when the en-
gine has reached its rpm limit, the transmission
will upshift beyond any gear range limit selected.

Press and hold left shift button 1.
The transmission will shift to the next
lower gear as permitted by the shift

select the gear range suited for optimal
acceleration and deceleration. This will
involve shifting down one or more
gears.
i To avoid overrevving the engine when down-
shifting, the transmission will not shift to a lower
gear if the engine’s max. speed would be
exceeded.
