Direct Mode

Direct mode can be used for
temporarily switching gears by
operating the steering shift switch
while the vehicle is being driven with
the selector lever in the D position.
While in direct mode, the D and M
indication illuminate and the gear
position in use is illuminated.

1. Direct mode indication
2. Gear position indication
 
Direct mode is canceled (released)
under the following conditions.



The UP switch (+/OFF) is pulled
rearward for a certain amount of
time or longer.



The vehicle is driven for a certain
amount of time or longer (time
differs depending on the driving
conditions while operating).



The vehicle is stopped or moving at a
slow speed.

NOTE

Shifting up and down while in direct
mode may not be possible depending
on the vehicle speed. In addition,
because direct mode is canceled
(released) depending on the rate of
acceleration or if the accelerator is fully
depressed, use of the manual shift
mode is recommended if you need to
drive the vehicle in a particular gear for
long periods.
