it will not shift automatically because you are in manual mode. it will downshift but it will not upshift on its own

if you want to shift automatically, then you have to move the lever back to D

so nothing is wrong with the tranny except this?

hmmm, baka unintentional oversight lang

that is why it is always best to read the owners manual

not all vehicles are created alike

The Jazz CVT has a reset ritual.

I am not actually sure if the Montero has.

Try unplugging the battery for a few minutes and reconnecting it again. See if that solves the problem.

hindi rin ba siya mag shift automatically once you reach the redline pag naka tiptronic? ganon kasi kia/hyundai pag naka manual mode automatic shift to next gear pag na reach yung redline.

I have also experienced this a few times when driving on mountainous roads. If I leave the gear in Drive while negotiating long, steep, winding roads, this has a tendency to happen. However, if you stop or at least slow down, it will go back to normal.

To avoid this, shift to sports mode or use the paddle shifter and select gears manually BEFORE negotiating mountainous roads. If you continue to use "D", and this happens, you will not be able to shift anymore even if you shift to sports mode. You would need to slow down or stop to correct this issue once it is present already. I never experienced this again since I started using the paddle shifter BEFORE the steep inclines. By the way, this does not happen on short inclined roads.

The invecs tranny of the monty is a learning tranny which adjusts to the driving behavior of the driver. You would notice this when you change your driving pattern and then shifting points will change after driving it for a while. When we are driving on mountainous roads, shifting points are greatly changed. I think the tranny just learns a bit slow as to realize that we are already on a flat surface. Just give it a bit more time.

This is just my own personal opinion and honestly, i dont know either if it is considered normal. A few members of MSCP has also encountered this issue but so far, no escalated damage or issue has been reported. It seems to be just a temporary issue which corrects on its own.
