Selecting gears in the M position

However, even when in the M position, the gears will be automatically changed in the fol-
lowing situations:
● When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
● When vehicle speed increases (upshift only).
● When the accelerator peda l is firmly depressed.
● When it is necessary to protect the transm ission when the transmission fluid tempera-
ture is high or low, or other reasons.
Also, the gear will not shift when the vehicle speed is low, ev en if an upshift operation is per-
formed.
