MANUAL SHIFT MODE

Manual Shift Mode gives you the feel of driving a manual transmission by allowing you 
to manually shift to control engine rpm and torque when more control is desired.

To Use Manual Shift Mode: 

Shift the lever from D to M.

To Shift Up To A Higher Gear: 

 Tap the shift lever back (+) once.

To Shift Down To A Lower Gear: 

Tap the shift lever forward (-) once. 

DRIVE SELECTION

SPORT mode will choose a lower gear for increased  
acceleration response. It will also hold a lower gear/
delay upshifting when it detects you are braking or 
cornering because it anticipates that you will want to 
accelerate out of the turn more quickly.

Push the SPORT button to switch to SPORT mode 
and the SPORT mode indicator light in the instrument 
cluster turns on. Push again to turn off.

NOTE:

If the SET button of the cruise control is pushed while in SPORT mode, SPORT 

mode is switched off. SPORT mode cannot be turned on or off when cornering.
•   When the ignition is switched OFF, SPORT mode is also switched off.
•   Fuel consumption increases slightly when using SPORT mode.
