While in M (Manual Mode), the
transmission will prevent shifting to
a lower gear if the engine speed is
too high. If the tap down − (Minus)
button is held while the vehicle
slows down, the M in the DIC will
flash, and the downshift will be
allowed when vehicle speed is low
enough. Continuing to hold the tap
down − (Minus) button will not cause
the transmission to continue
downshifting. Each downshift must
be requested separately by
releasing and reapplying the tap
down − (Minus) button.

If the lights begin flashing, you have
