Paddle shifter
Manual shift mode (if so equipped)
When the selector lever is shifted from the D
position to the manual shift gate, the transmis-
sion enters the manual shift mode. Shift ranges
can be selected manually by operating the
selector lever or the paddle shifter on the
steering wheel.
In the manual shift mode, the shift range is
displayed on the position indicator in the meter.
Shift ranges up or down one by one as follows:

the + (up) side or pull the right-side paddle
shifter (+)
*

. The transmission shifts to a
higher range.
. When shifting down, move the selector lever
to the (down) side or pull the left-side
paddle shifter ()
*
B
. The transmission
shifts to a lower range.
. Moving the selector lever to the same side
twice or pulling the same paddle shifter
twice will shift the ranges in succession.
However, if this motion is rapidly done, the
second shifting may not be completed
properly.
. When canceling the manual shift mode,
return the selector lever to the D (Drive)
position. The transmission returns to the
normal driving mode.
. When you pull the paddle shifter while in the
D (Drive) position, the transmission will shift
to the upper or lower range temporarily. The
transmission will automatically return to the
D (Drive) position after a short period of
time. If you want to return to the D (Drive)
position manually, pull and hold the paddle
shifter for about 1.5 seconds.

Use this position for all normal forward driving at
highway speeds.
