5-32 Switches and controls
In the manual shift mode, the gear is fixed at the
presently selected one even when the vehicle
speed changes. So you should change the gear
appropriately according to the vehicle speed.
• The gear shifts up by one gear each time you
move the gearshift lever to the “+” position.
• The gear shifts down by one gear each time you
move the gearshift lever to the “–” position.
• If the gearshift lever is moved to the “+” or “–”
position multiple times, the gear will change
upward or downward as long as the engine is
operating within the normal rpm range.
NOTE:
• If the system judges that a manual upshift or
downshift would put the engine speed out of the
normal rpm range, the gearshift does not take
place. If the gear does not change when you
operate the gearshift lever, first adjust the vehi-
cle speed using the accelerator or brakes and
then operate the gearshift lever again.
• In cold weather when the temperature of the
transmission oil is low, shifting down may be
prohibited.
If the gear does not change when you operate
the gearshift lever, first reduce the vehicle speed
using the accelerator or brakes and then oper-
ate the gearshift lever to downshift again.
Push the gearshift lever into the “A/M” position if
you want to change the gearshift mode from the
manual shift mode to the automatic shift mode.
