Shifting using the shift paddles
Selecting manual shifting
While the vehicle is stopped or being driven with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, manual shifting can be selected by pulling one of the shift paddles towards you.
Shifting up
Each time the + (SHIFT UP) shift paddle is pulled, the transmission shifts up 1 gear.
Shifting down
Each time the - (SHIFT DOWN) shift paddle is pulled, the transmission shifts down 1 gear.
Note
► After manual shifting is selected using the shift paddles, shifting up and down can also be performed using the gearshift lever.
Returning to “D” range operation
When the gearshift lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position, pull the + (SHIFT UP) shift paddle towards you for 2 seconds or more to return to “D” range operation.
Note
► If manual shifting is selected using the shift paddles when the gearshift lever
is in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the transmission will automatically return to “D”
range operation before the vehicle stops.
► When the transmission returns to “D” range operation from manual shifting, it
may automatically shift up or down from the gear selected using manual shifting
depending on the vehicle speed or driving conditions.
► If manual shifting is selected using the shift paddles, “D” range operation will
again be selected by moving the gearshift lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position towards
the driver’s seat, then return it towards the front passenger’s seat.
