Shift Control - Sequential Sportshift Mode

The transmission is provided the sequential sportshift mode in the D position. In the D position, the transmission has two modes; the automatic shift mode and sequential sportshift mode. The transmission is switched to the sequential sportshift mode by shifting the shift lever into the M position from the D, and the driver can shift up and down manually 1st through 5th gears with the shift lever; much like a manual transmission.

The vehicle can start off in 1st and 2nd gear in the M position.

The sequential sportshift upshift switch and downshift switch are in the shift lever. The driver can shift gears by shifting the shift lever by hand.
