Passing acceleration
For quick acceleration when passing, depressing the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor will cause the transmission to automatically shift from 4th gear to 3rd gear, from 3rd gear to 2nd gear or from 2nd gear to 1st gear, in accordance with the driving speed, without having to move the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE), “3” (THIRD) or “2” (SECOND) positions.
NOTE
In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
