Manual mode M/S becomes active and the gear
is changed.
The engaged gear is displayed in the instru‐
ment cluster, for instance M1.
Shifting
▷ To shift down: press the selector lever for‐
ward.
▷ To shift up: pull the selector lever rear‐
wards.
The Steptronic transmission continues shifting
automatically in certain situations, for instance
when certain engine speed limits are reached.
Avoiding automatic upshifting
Once a particular engine speed is attained, M/S
manual mode is automatically upshifted as
needed.
MINI John Cooper Works: once particular en‐
gine speeds are attained, upshifting is not auto‐
matically performed in M/S manual mode.
For vehicles with Steptronic Sport transmission,
automatic shift operations are not performed if
one of the following conditions is met:
▷ DSC is deactivated.
▷ TRACTION is activated.
In addition, there is no downshifting for kick‐
down.
With the appropriate transmission version, the
lowest possible gear can be selected by simul‐
taneously activating kickdown and operating
the left shift paddles. This is not possible by
switching briefly via the shift paddles from se‐
lector lever position D to manual mode M/S.
Ending the manual mode
Push the selector lever to the right.
D is displayed in the instrument cluster.
Shift paddles for Steptronic Sport
transmission
Concept
The shift paddles on the steering wheel allow
you to shift gears quickly while keeping both
hands on the steering wheel.
General information
Shifting
Gears will only be shifted at appropriate engine
and road speeds, for instance downshifting is
not possible if the engine speed is too high.
Short-term manual mode
In selector lever position D, actuating a shift
paddle switches into manual mode temporarily.
After conservative driving in manual mode
without acceleration or shifting via the shift
paddles for a certain amount of time, the trans‐
mission switches back to automatic mode.
It is possible to switch into automatic mode as
follows:
▷ Pull and hold right shift paddle.
▷ In addition to the briefly pulled right shift
paddle, briefly pull the left shift paddle.
Continuous manual mode
In selector lever position S, actuating a shift
paddle switches into manual mode perma‐
nently.
