2013 Infiniti EX - Manual Shift Mode

To put the vehicle in the DS or Drive Sport position, move the selector into the shift gate position. You will then be able to shift manually in two ways, either by moving the selector lever up or down, or by pulling the left or right paddle shifters (if so equipped) located on the steering wheel.

To shift by using the selector, move it to the plus "+" icon to shift to a higher gear, or the minus "-" icon to shift to a lower gear.

If you would prefer to use the paddle shifters, pull the right side paddle shifter to shift into a higher gear or pull the left side paddle shifter to shift to a lower gear.

Use 7th gear for all normal forward driving at highway speeds.

Use 5th and 6th gear when driving up long slopes, or for engine braking when driving down long slopes.

4th through 2nd gears can also be used for hill climbing or engine braking on downhill grades.

1st gear can be used for climbing steep hills slowly, driving slowly, or for maximum engine braking on steep downhill grades.

Remember not to drive at high speeds for extended periods of time in lower than 7th gear. This reduces fuel economy.

To cancel the manual shift mode, return the shift selector to the Drive position.
