IMPORTANT
Do not rely solely on the indicated
upshifting/downshifting suggestions, as actual
driving situations may require different gear shifting
operations than indicated. To avoid the danger of
accidents, the driver must correctly assess the road
and traffic conditions before shifting gears.
Under manual mode, if the driver makes an
unreasonable gear selection, such as requests an upshift
during low engine speeds or requests a downshift
during high engine speeds, the transmission will not
respond and will remain in the current gear. When the
vehicle drives in a certain gear and the engine speed
is lower than a certain value, the transmission will
automatically downshift to an adjacent lower gear to
avoid engine flameout; when the vehicle accelerates
and the engine speed rises up continuously to the
maximum speed allowable by the gear, the transmission
Note: The gearshift operation shall be made on the
