5. Driving Guide
Hint
● Only on the premise of safety of the engine
and transmission can the transmission perform
the upshift or downshift operation. When
using
the "M" mode to switch the transmission to M1
- M3 gear,
if the engine has reached the
maximum speed whi
ch
the transmission can
withstand, the transmission will automatically
raise a gear; In addition, in order to prevent
too low motor speed, the transmission will
automatically reduce a gear at a certai
n
speed.
● The "M" mode is recommended when
driving
on road conditions such as mountain roads or
hilly areas. Fix the transmission to a certain
gear to prevent the transmission from
switching frequently.
● Once the "M" mode is applied, the
transmission will always
be in this mode
except for the engine flameout, the shift lever
is switched to the "S" gear or the driving mode
button exits.
