Driving
Use the paddle shifters to change betwee n 1st and 9th gears without removing your
hands from the steering wheel. The transmission will switch to the sequential mode.
■When the transmi ssion is in (D (D-paddle shift mode):
The vehicle will go into the sequential m ode momentarily, and the gear selection
indicator becomes more prominent.
The sequential mode is automatically canc eled and the gear selection indicator
returns to ordinary display under the following conditions.
• Hold the
(+ paddle shifter.
• Once you start traveling at a constant speed.
• The vehicle comes to a complete stop.
• When you change to another Integrated Dynamics System mode.
The sequential mode automatically shifts under following condition
• Accelerator pedal depressed beyond the click.
• Engine speed reaches near the tachometer red zone.
• Engine speed reaches idle speed while deceleration.
■Sequential Mode1Sequential Mode
When sequential mode is selected, the gasoline
engine powers the vehicle.

■When the transmi ssion is in M (Manual) mode:
The vehicle will go into the sequential mode , and the gear position indicator goes off
and only the gear selection indicator is displayed.
You can cancel this mode by pressing the button, pulling the
(+ paddle shifter
or changing Integrated Dynamics System mode to QUIET. When the sequential
mode is canceled, the display is changed from only the gear selection indicator to
both of the gear position indicato r and the gear selection indicator.
The transmission automatically shifts up fr om 1st to 2nd and does not automatically
shift up between 2nd and 9th gear.D/M

■Sequential Mode Operation1Sequential Mode Operation
Each paddle shift operation makes a single gear
change.
To change gears continuously, release the paddle
shifter before pulling it again for the next gear.
When the Dynamic Mode is set to any mode other
than QUIET , holding the
(- paddle shifter will
downshift the transmission to the lowest possible
gear.
If the sequential mode gear selection indicator blinks
when you try to shift up or down, this means your
vehicle speed is not in its allowable gear range.
Slightly accelerate to shift up and decelerate to shift
down while the indi cator is blinking.
In Manual mode, to pr ioritize the engine
performance enhancement, the transmission may
not allow for shifting up while the engine speed is
low.

Integrated Dynamics System
Constantly controls your ve hicle’s engine, transmission, High Voltage battery, EPS,
dampers, brakes, VSA ® and SH-AWD® according to the mode you select.
You can choose between four modes, QUIET mode, SPORT mode, SPORT+ mode
and TRACK mode by turning the switch on the center console.
Current mode is displayed on the Driver Information Interface, and each mode will
appear differently.1 Integrated Dynamics System
You can set the mode to be selected when you set
the power mode to ON.
2 Customized Features P. 243
The mode may not be able to be changed under
some driving conditions. If mode change is necessary,
reduce speed or cornering speed.
This message will also be shown if you try to change
modes when any vehicl e systems have failed.
