● Remember not to drive at high speeds for

extended periods of time in lower than M4
range. This reduces fuel economy.

When shifting up:

Move the shift selector to the + (up) side. (Shifts
to higher range.)

When shifting down:

Move the shift selector to the

Ϫ (down) side.

(Shifts to lower range.)

● The transmission will automatically down-

shift the gears. (For example, if you select the
3rd range, the transmission will shift down
between the 3rd and 1st gears.)

● Moving the shift selector rapidly to the same

side twice will shift the ranges in succession.

When canceling the manual shift mode:

Press the manual shift mode button

A

to return

the transmission to the normal driving mode.

In the manual shift mode, the transmis-

sion may not shift to the selected gear
immediately because of vehicle speed.
The transmission will up or down shift
when vehicle speed matches the pro-
grammed transmission shift points.
This helps maintain driving perfor-
mance and reduces the chance of ve-
hicle damage or loss of control.

In the manual shift mode, the transmis-

sion will not up shift to a higher gear
than is manually selected. When the
vehicle speed decreases, the transmis-
sion automatically shifts down and
shifts to 1st gear before the vehicle
comes to a stop.
