Shift position uses
*: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for
the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the D position is recom-
mended for normal driving.

180 2-1. Driving procedures
FT86_EE
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 (if
equipped), 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.

Upshifting (+)
Downshifting (-)
Each time the shift lever or pad-
dle shift switches are operated,
the gear changes up or down
one gear and the selected gear,
“1” through “6”, will be set.
The selected gear, from “1” to “6”,
and “M” will be displayed on the
shift position and shift range indi-
cator.
When in manual mode, the gear will not change unless the shift lever
or paddle shift switches are operated.
However, even when in manual mode, the gears will be automatically
changed in the following situations:
When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
When engine oil temperature is high and engine speed rises close
to the red zone.

182 2-1. Driving procedures
FT86_EE
Automatic gear selection when the vehicle is stopped
When the vehicle is idling at high rpm in order to warm up, and the vehicle is
on a slippery road, the transmission may automatically shift to 2
nd gear for
stopping and starting off.
Temporary manual mode driving (vehicles with paddle shift switches)
Temporary manual mode driving will be deactivated and normal D position
driving will be returned to in the following situations:
When driving for longer than the set time (the set time differs according
to driving conditions).
When the vehicle comes to a stop.
When the accelerator pedal is continually depressed for longer than the
set time.
When the accelerator pedal is fully, or near-fully, depressed.
Temporary manual mode driving can be
changed to by operating the paddle shift
switches while the shift lever is in the D
position.
When this occurs, the selected gear and
“D” are displayed on the shift position and
shift range indicator.
(When engine speed rises close to the
red zone, upshifting will be automatically
performed.)
