9-8 Driving and Operating
If the road levels out and/or the
accelerator is pressed, the
transmission will shift until the
appropriate gear is reached.
A/S mode may be switched to
override this feature.
Sport shift mode

when maximum responsiveness is
required.
When operating in sport shift mode,
the transmission will delay upshifts
and allow earlier downshifts.

sense enthusiastic driving, in which
case it may delay upshi fting and
downshift earlier when braking. This
is designed to maximise vehicle
performance.

1. Move the gear lever to
position D.
2. Push the gear lever to the left.

or –, ot herwise A/S mode will be
enabled.

on the display for 2 seconds.

selected.

Normal shift mode is recommended
for normal or freeway driving, as it
provides optimum fuel economy.

position D, normal shift mode is
selected.
