Manual mode

  • Select position M to change the four gears sequentially.
  • Push the lever towards the + sign to upshift.
  • Pull the lever towards the - sign to downshift.

Gear changes are only made if vehicle speed and engine torque allow; otherwise, automatic mode rules apply.

The D indicator disappears and the selected gears appear one after another in the instrument cluster display.

If engine speed is too low or too high, the selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then the gear actually engaged is displayed.

Switching from position D (automatic mode) to M (manual mode) can be done at any time.

When stopped or at low speed, the gearbox automatically selects gear M1.

In manual mode, sport and snow modes are inactive.

Incorrect gear in manual mode

This symbol is displayed if the gear is not correctly engaged (lever between two gears).
