The engine RPM shift indicator light (REV) is located in
the tachometer. During driving, it indicates ‘shift point’,
or time to up-shift.
 The shift indicator light will begin flashing about
500 RPM before a pre-set engine RPM is reached
in any gear. Then, when the actual pre-set RPM is
reached, the shift indicator light will stop flashing
and remain on.
 The engine RPM shift point may be set by the driver using the Trip Computer
display. Or it may be deactivated, also using the Trip Computer display.

light illuminates, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
Adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located
in the driver’s door opening. After tire pressures are adjusted, the
vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h)
to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light.

Manual shift Mode
 When the shift selector lever is shifted
from D (Drive) to the manual shift gate, the
transmission enters the manual shift mode.
 In the manual shift mode, shift range is
displayed on the position indicator in the
meter.
 When shifting up, move the shift selector lever
to the + (up) side. (Shifts to higher range.)
 When shifting down, move the shift selector lever to the - (down) side. (Shifts to
lower range.)
 In manual shift mode, the transmission automatically shifts down to M1 (first) before
the vehicle comes to a stop. When accelerating again, it is necessary to shift to the
desired range.
 When canceling the manual shift mode, return the shift selector lever to the D (Drive)
position. The transmission returns to the normal driving mode.

Lock-out:
In 6-speed manual transmission-equipped vehicles, the shift lever is equipped with
a reverse lock-out feature that prevents accidental selection of R (Reverse) (instead
of 6th gear).

Shifting to Reverse:
Depress the shift lever down, then move it to the right and back into R (reverse).
NOTE: When shifting, always depress the clutch pedal fully to avoid noise and gear grind.
