When driving
Manual mode driving
To enter manual mode, shift the shift lever to the M position.
While the upshift/downshift indicator light is illuminated, gears can be
selected by operating the shift lever or paddle shift switches, allowing
you to drive in the gear of your choosing.
Even if upshifting operations are performed, if vehicle speed is too low for
the requested gear, the gear will not change.
