■Sequential Mode Operation1Sequential Mode Operation
Each paddle shift operation makes a single gear
change.
To change gears continuously, release the paddle
shifter before pulling it again for the next gear.
When the Dynamic Mode is set to any mode other
than QUIET , holding the
(- paddle shifter will
downshift the transmission to the lowest possible
gear.
If the sequential mode gear selection indicator blinks
when you try to shift up or down, this means your
vehicle speed is not in its allowable gear range.
Slightly accelerate to shift up and decelerate to shift
down while the indi cator is blinking.
In Manual mode, to pr ioritize the engine
performance enhancement, the transmission may
not allow for shifting up while the engine speed is
low.
