Paddle shifters allow you to shift gears much like a manual
transmission (1st through 10th). This is useful for engine braking.

automatic mode once the system
detects that the vehicle is cruising.
When the transmission is in (S●Holds the selected gear, and the

Use the paddle shifters to change betw een 1st and 10th gears without releasing
your hands from the steering wheel. The trans mission will switch to the sequential
mode.
■When the transmi ssion is in (D:
The vehicle will go into th e sequential mode momentarily, and the sequential mode
gear selection indicator will come on.
When the vehicle goes into the sequential mode by
(- paddle shifter and the lower
gear is available, the tran smission properly selects single or double gear change.
Once you start traveling at a constant speed , the sequential mode will automatically
switch off, and the sequential mode gear selection indicator will go off.
Hold the
(+ paddle shifter for two-seconds or push the button to return to
normal drive.
■When the transmi ssion is in (S:
The vehicle will go into th e sequential mode, and the M (sequential mode) indicator
and sequential mode gear selection indicator will come on.
If the vehicle speed increases and the engi ne speed reaches near the tachometer red
zone, the transmission automatically shifts up to the next gear.
You can cancel this mode by holding the
(+ paddle shifter for two seconds or push
the button. When the se quential mode is canceled, the sequential mode
indicator and sequential mode gear selection indicator go off.

■Sequential Mode Operation1Sequential Mode Operation
Each paddle shif t operation makes a single or double
gear change.
To change gears continuously, release the paddle
shifter before pulling it again for the next 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 or the
protection of transmissi on system is necessary.
Slightly accelerate to shift up and decelerate to shift
down while the indi cator is blinking.
The transmission is in
( S and Sport mode, to
prioritize the engine perf ormance enhancement, the
transmission may not allow for shifting up while the
engine speed is low.
