Manual Shift Mode

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.

To change to manual shift mode, shift the
lever from D to M.

To return to automatic shift mode, shift
the lever from M to D.

when the vehicle is stopped, the gear

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.
