Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
12032182) - 2019 - crc - 5/8/18
190 Driving and Operating
When the shift lever is in D (Drive),
press either the right (+) plus paddle
or the left (−) minus paddle to place
the transmission in Temporary
Manual Paddle Shift mode. The
gear indicator next to the shift lever,
in the cluster, and in the HUD will
display an M, even though the shift
lever is still in D (Drive). To exit the
system, hold the (+) plus paddle for
more than one second. The system
will return to automatic shifting after
six seconds of cruising at a steady
speed, no manual shifts, no
aggressive cornering, or when the
vehicle comes to a stop.
While the Manual Paddle Shift gear
selection system is active, the
transmission will automatically
downshift through the gears as the
vehicle slows. The transmission will
select 1 (First) gear as the vehicle
stops. From a stop, the vehicle will
start from and hold 1 (First) gear
unless the manual paddle shifts are
used to shift into a different gear,
or D (Drive) is selected.
If the left (−) minus paddle is held
down briefly, the transmission will
downshift to the lowest gear
possible for the vehicle speed. If the
paddle continues to be held as the
vehicle slows, downshifts will
continue to occur as vehicle speed
allows. This feature also works
while in Temporary Manual Paddle
Shift mode, but first press and
release the (−) minus paddle to
enter Temporary Manual Paddle
Shift mode, then press and hold the
(−) minus paddle briefly.
The Manual Paddle Shift system will
not allow an upshift or a downshift if
the vehicle speed is too fast or too
slow, nor will it allow a start from
3 (Third) or higher gear.
If upshifting does not occur when
needed, vehicle speed will be
limited to protect the engine.
When a requested shift is denied
due to the speed restrictions shown,
a DIC message will be displayed,
and the current gear remains
displayed in the instrument cluster
and HUD.
Manual Paddle Shift operation is
available for use with cruise control.
See Cruise Control 0 207.
The vehicle speeds required for
Manual Paddle Shift upshifts
depend on several vehicle inputs,
which will vary the allowed upshift
speed by a few km/h (mph).
For Vehicles with a 2.41:1 Axle
Ratio (RPO GXB)
.
Upshifts to 3 (Third) gear require
approximately 25 km/h (16 mph).
.
Upshifts to 4 (Fourth) gear
require approximately 37 km/h
(23 mph).
.
Upshifts to 5 (Fifth) gear require
approximately 48 km/h (30 mph).
.
Upshifts to 6 (Sixth) gear require
approximately 60 km/h (37 mph).
