Use of Engine Brake
To use the engine brake, change into the manual gear shift mode

MANUAL GEAR SHIFT BY TIP SWITCH
If the gear selector level is moved to “M” position while

• Operate the tip switch only once. If you keep pressing the button,
the gear may be shifted through several steps in a series.
• Abruptly using the engine brake may make driving unstable. Do
not use the engine brake abruptly especially when driving on

To prevent shift shock and to protect the system, in some cases,
the current gear may not be shifted to the lower gear even if the
gear selector lever is moved to “M” position.
