Manually Shifting Down
You can shift gears down by operating the selector lever.
M6 → M5 → M4 → M3 → M2→ M1
To shift down to a lower gear, tap the selector lever forward 
once.
Do not use engine braking on slippery road surfaces or at high speeds:
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving at high speeds causes sudden engine braking, which is dangerous. The sudden change in tyre speed could cause the tyres to skid. This could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.
-
When driving at high speeds, the gear may not shift down.
-
During deceleration, the gear may automatically shift down depending on vehicle speed.
-
When depressing the accelerator fully, the transaxle will shift to a lower gear, depending on vehicle speed. However, the gears do not kickdown while the TCS is turned off.
