Manual shifting You can move the gear selector freely between the ( MAN )ual and ( D)rive positions while driving. Gears 3, 4, 5, and 6 (where applicable) have a "lock-up" function which reduces engine speed and helps save fuel. The currently selected gear will be displayed in the instrument panel (see page 44). To access the ( MAN )ual shifting position from ( D)rive, move the gear selector to the left to MAN . To return to the ( D)rive position from MAN , move the gear selector to the right. pg. 119 Starting and driving Geartronic (option) While driving If you select the ( MAN )ual position while driving, the gear that was being used in the ( D)rive position will also initially be selected in ( MAN )ual position. Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "-") to shift to a lower gear. If you hold the gear selector toward "-", the transmission will downshift one gear and will utilize the braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used. If you slow down to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down. When starting in the ( MAN )ual position, 3rd gear is the highest gear that may be selected. NOTE: Kickdown does not function when the transmission is in the manual shift (Geartronic) mode.The gear selector must be in the D (Drive) position. Kickdown Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and briskly. An upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly. Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds. Kickdown does not function when the transmission is in the manual shift (Geartronic) mode.

While driving
If you select the (
MAN
)ual position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (
D
)rive position will also
initially be selected in (
MAN
)ual position.
Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "-") to shift to a lower
gear.
If you hold the gear selector toward "-", the transmission will downshift one gear and will utilize the braking power
of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will not occur until the speed has
decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used.
If you slow down to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down.

Kickdown does not function when the transmission is in the manual shift (Geartronic) mode.The gear selector
must be in the D (Drive) position.
