 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.

NOTE:

Changing to manual mode  

can be done while driving the vehicle.

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.

The transmission will automatically adjust how and when it shifts gears  
based on road conditions and your driving style. The transmission may stay  
in a lower gear longer than usual when going up or down hills or driving 
around corners. This feature gives you better control and a more connected 
driving experience.
