With the shift lever in ‘‘D’’ position,
you can select the Sequential
SportShift mode to shift gears much
like a manual transmission, but
without a clutch pedal.

To enter the Sequential SportShift
mode, move the shift lever further to
the driver’s side. To return to ‘‘D,’’
move the shift lever to the
passenger’s side.
In Sequential SportShift mode, each
time you push forward on the shift
lever, the transmission shifts to a
higher gear. Pull back on the lever to
downshift. The number of the gear
selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.

When you move the shift lever from
‘‘D’’ to ‘‘M’’ position, the display
shows the selected gear.

While in the Sequential SportShift
mode, you can also shift up or down
using the

(right side) or

(left

side) paddle shifters on the right and
left side of the steering wheel.

For up shift, press the right side (

)

paddle shifter.
For down shift, press the left side
(

) paddle shifter.
