OPERATION & PERFORMANCE

To select Reverse or Forward gears, lift the handle, pull back and allow it to drop into gear. Once in gear, normal upshifts do not require lifting the handle again until accessing Reverse or Park. From Drive, lifting the handle straight up bypasses the reverse lockout, allowing movement into Reverse or Park while maintaining safety compliance.

In ratchet mode for performance driving, shift into low gear, launch the vehicle and simply tap the shifter forward for each upshift. The mechanism prevents over-shifting, ensuring you cannot accidentally skip gears.
