Paddle shifter (if equipped)
In sports mode,  when the engine rpm
approaches the red zone, the transaxle
will upshift automatically.
Whether  the  vehicle is  stationary  or  in
motion, sports mode is selected by push-
ing the shift lever from the D (Drive) posi-
tion into the manual gate. To return  to  D
(Drive)  range  operation,  push  the  shift
lever back into the main gate.
The paddle  shifter is available  when the
shift lever is in the D position or the sport
mode.
To  maintain   the  required   levels  of
vehicle  performance  and  safety,  the
system
may    not   execute    certain
gearshifts when the shift lever is oper-
ated.
In  sports  mode,  moving  the  shift lever
backwards and forwards will allow you to
make gearshifts rapidly.
Up (+)     : Push the lever forward once to
shift up one gear.
When   driving  on   a  slippery   road,
push the  shift  lever forward  into the
+(up)
position.    This    causes     the
transaxle  to  shift  into  the  2nd  gear
which is better  for smooth driving on
a slippery road. Push the shift lever to
the -(down) side to shift back to the 1st
gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever  backwards once
to shift down one gear.
