The transmission control system
monitors the accelerator pedal use
and your driving conditions. When
you press the accelerator pedal as in
normal driving, the system judges
that you are driving at a constant
cruising speed without using the
paddle shifters. Under these
conditions, D-paddle shift mode is
canceled, and the transmission
automatically returns to drive mode
(D).
Each time you pull either paddle
shifter, the transmission shifts one
gear up or down. If you want to shift
up or down more than two gears, pull
the paddle shifter twice, pause, and
then pull it again.
The transmission remains in the
selected gear if you do not accelerate.
When the transmission returns to
drive mode (D), the displayed gear
number disappears.
Hold the paddle shifter for 2
seconds to return to drive mode (D).
The automatic transmission will not
allow you to shift up or down if:
You downshift before the engine
speed reaches the highest
threshold of the lower gear.
If you try to do this, the gear
position indicator will flash the
numberofthelowergearseveral
times, then return to a higher gear.
You upshift before the engine
speed reaches the lowest
threshold of the higher gear.
You pull both paddle shifters at
thesametime.
