NOTE
Please read the following points carefully and bear them in mind when using the manual mode.

. If you attempt to shift up when the vehicle speed is too low, the transmission will not respond.
. You can perform a skip-shift( for example, from 4th to 2nd) by operating the shift paddle twice in rapid succession.
. The transmission automatically selects 1st gear when the vehicle stops moving.
. If the temperature of the transmission fluid becomes too high, the“ AT OIL TEMP” warning light on the combination meter will illuminate. Immediately stop the vehicle in a safe location and let the engine idle until the warning light turns off.
