2-1. Driving procedures Selecting gears in the "M" position To enter "M" mode, shift the shift lever to the "M" position. Gears can then be selected by operating the shift lever or paddle shift switches, allowing you to drive in the gear of your choosing. Upshifting Downshifting Each time the shift lever or paddle shift switches are operated, the gear changes up or down one gear and the selected gear, "M1" through "M8", will be set. The selected gear, from "1" to "8", will be displayed in the meter. When in the "M" mode, the gear will not change unless the shift lever or paddle shift switches are operated. However, even when in the "M" mode, the gears will be automatically changed in the following situations: ● When vehicle speed drops (downshift only). ● When the automatic transmission fluid or engine coolant temperature is low. ● When the automatic transmission fluid temperature is high. 184
