Geartronic: steering wheel paddles*
In addition to the manual gearshift function using
the gear selector, this option makes it possible to
manually shift gears from the steering wheel.
Steering-wheel mounted gear shift paddles
"–": Shift down to a lower gear.
"+": Shift up to a higher gear.
In order to shift gears with the paddles, they have
to first be activated. The gear selector can be
in either the D or S position.
Activating the paddles:
•
Pull either paddle toward the steering wheel
and release it; the D in the instrument panel
will change to the number of the gear cur-
rently being used.
Shifting gears:
•
Pull the paddle toward the steering wheel
and release it.
Deactivating the paddles:
•
Hold the "+" paddle for approximately
3 seconds.
NOTE
If the gear selector was in D when paddle
shifting was activated (D changed to the
number of the gear being used), the transmis-
sion will automatically revert to D after
approximately 5 seconds if the paddles are
not used to shift gears.
This will not occur:
•
during active driving (e.g., on a winding
road, while accelerating, etc)
•
if the gear selector was in S when the
paddles were activated
If the transmission reverts to D, the paddles
will have to be reactivated (pull either paddle
toward the steering wheel and release it)
before they can be used to shift gears again.
The paddles can also be manually deactivated
by pulling both paddles toward the steering
wheel and holding them until the gear num-
ber shown in the instrument panel changes to
D.
