Shift paddles
The shift paddles on the steering wheel allow
you to shift gears quickly while keeping both
hands on the steering wheel.
The shift paddles can be used only when Driv‐

page 65.
If Auto eDrive, refer to page 64, is activated,
the combustion engine starts first.
▷ Shift up: briefly pull right shift paddle.
▷ Shift down: briefly pull left shift paddle.
Gears will only be shifted at appropriate engine
and road speeds, for example downshifting is
not possible if the engine speed is too high.
The selected gear is briefly displayed in the in‐

If the shift paddles on the steering wheel are

mode.
In the manual mode, if there has been no ac‐
celeration or shifting of the shift paddles within
a certain amount of time, the transmission
switches back to automatic mode.
