M shall be displayed on the screen
temporarily if the gear is upshi ed or
downshi ed with the gear lever. A er
some time, transmission shall return to
automatic mode again, and D shall be
displayed on the screen.
On automatic drive mode (D), the
transmission adjusts the shi ing speed
according to the pressing level on the
accelerator. Shi s gear at low speeds for
economy when the accelerator is pressed
lightly, and shi s gear at high speeds for
performance when the accelerator is
pressed strongly.
When the accelerator is pressed fully, it
fi nds another level that can be sensed
with the foot, too. If you press beyond this
level, transmission downshi s for higher
power and allows the engine to reach a
higher speed. This feature, called as “kick-
down”, helps the vehicle to accelerate
while overtaking another vehicle or when
power is required.
