an uphill slope. Use the brakes.
Driving on slopes
When driving on a slope, the

gear. Upshift or downshift to assist
in maintaining vehicle speed and/or
reduce brake wear.
If the road levels out and/or the
accelerator is pressed, the
transmission will shift until the
appropriate gear is reached.

override this feature.
Sport shift mode
Sport shift mode can be selected
when maximum responsiveness is
required.
When operating in sport shift mode,
the transmission will delay upshifts
and allow earlier downshifts.
