With your vehicle in drive (D), the paddle
shifters provide temporary manual control.
They allow you the ability to shift gears
quickly, without taking your hands off the
steering wheel. The system determines
when temporary manual control is no
longer in use and returns to automatic
control.
You can achieve extensive manual control
by moving the gearshift lever to the sport
(S) position.

The instrument cluster displays your
currently selected gear. The transmission
automatically upshifts if your engine speed
is too high or downshifts if your engine
speed is too low. The system stays in manual control until
you make another gear selection (for
example, drive [D]).
Note:
Engine damage may occur if
excessive engine revving is held without
shifting.
Brake-Shift Interlock WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are
working.
When doing this procedure, you will
be taking your vehicle out of park
which means your vehicle can roll
freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle
movement, always fully set the parking
brake prior to doing this procedure. Use
wheel chocks if appropriate. If the parking brake is fully released,
but the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. See your authorized
dealer. Note:
Contact an authorized dealer as soon
as possible if this procedure is used.
Note: For some markets, this feature will
be disabled.
Use the brake shift interlock lever to move
the gearshift lever from the park position
in the event of an electrical malfunction or
if your vehicle has a dead battery.
Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off before performing this
procedure.
