When Using The Manual Mode (Vehicles With The Manual Mode)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Patriot and 2017 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the manual mode switch is turned ON, the fixed changing gear line is set. By moving the switch to + side or - side, shift change is like a M/T and selects from a range of 6 pre-programmed gear ranges.
By limiting the shift to the area nearest the low side of the gear ratio, a larger driving force and engine brake are secured.
