Paddle Shifter (Manual Shift
Mode)
OJX1069011OJX1069011
The paddle shifter allows the driver to
shift gears without taking one’s hands off
the steering wheel.
The paddle shifter operates as follows.
• Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear and the
system changes from automatic shift
mode to manual shift mode.
• To change back to automatic shift
mode from manual shift mode, do one
of the following:
- Pull the [+] paddle shifter for more
than one second.
- Drive the vehicle under 4 mph
(7 km/h).
- Gently depress the accelerator
pedal for more than 6 seconds.
However, if SPORT mode, SPORT+
mode, or CUSTOM mode is
selected, the paddle shifter will not
change to automatic shift mode
from manual shift mode.
- Rotate the shift dial to the D (Drive)
position to return to automatic shift
mode.
Information
If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are pulled
at the same time, gear shift may not occur.

Drive mode may be selected according
to the driver's preference or road
condition.
Drive Mode
The mode changes whenever the driver
pushes the DRIVE MODE switch up or
down.
COMFORT mode
COMFORT mode provides smooth
driving and comfortable riding.
ECO mode
ECO mode helps improve fuel
efficiency for eco-friendly
driving.
Fuel efficiency varies according
to the driver's driving habit and
road condition.
• When ECO mode is selected, the
ECO indicator will illuminate on the
instrument cluster.• When ECO mode is activated:
- The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
- The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
- The shift pattern of the automatic
transmission may change.
- Engine noise may be louder at some
automatic transmission shifts as
down-shift requires pressing down
more on the accelerator.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is
activated to help improve fuel
efficiency.
Limitations of ECO mode
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though there is
no change in the ECO indicator.
• When coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until engine
performance becomes normal.
• When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
• When driving the vehicle in manual
shift mode using the paddle shifter.
The system will be limited according
to the shift location.
