Manual mode
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.
In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions. If engine
speed is too high, the transmission
only switches to a higher gear via
kickdown.

the foot brake, select "N" and apply
the parking brake to allow the clutch
to cool down.

past the pressure point, the
transmission shifts to a lower gear
depending on engine speed. Full
