A vehicle includes an engine, a continuously variable transmission, and a controller. The controller, responsive to a request to manually shift the continuously variable transmission and the engine being on, operates the continuously variable transmission atone of a predetermined number of discrete ratios such that a speed of the engine changes by at least a predetermined amount.
