switches are operated. However, even when in the M position, the gears will be automati-
cally changed in the following situation:

When the automatic transmission fluid or engine coolant temperature is low.
When automatic transmission fluid temperature is high.
When the needle of the tachometer is in the red zone (the range which exceeds the
allowable revs of the engine).
In the following situations, the gear will not shift even if the shift lever or paddle shift switches
are operated.
“1st Gear not available due to slippery road surface” is displayed on the multi informa-
tion display.
