NOTE

l

If the gears cannot be shifted down
when driving at higher speeds, the
gear position indicator will flash
twice to signal that the gears cannot
be shifted down.

l

If the automatic transmission fluid
(ATF) temperature becomes too
high, there is the possibility that the
transmission will switch to automatic
shift mode, canceling manual shift
mode and turning off the gear
position indicator illumination. This
is a normal function to protect the
AT. After the ATF temperature has
decreased, the gear position indicator
illumination turns back on and
driving in manual shift mode is
restored.

Shifting

You can shift gears up and down by
operating the shift lever or the steering
shift switches.

NOTE

l

If the steering shift switches on both
sides (left and right) are operated
simultaneously, the gear will shift
once.

l

The gear will not shift if:

l

The steering shift switch and the
shift lever are operated
simultaneously.

l

The UP switch and DOWN
switch are operated
simultaneously.
