Manual Paddle Shift
While in the SPORT MODE (S) position, the paddles
located on the steering wheel, can be used to manually
up-shift or down-shift the transmission.
While in the SPORT MODE (S) mode, push the paddle
above the steering wheel spokes to up-shift to the
next gear, or pull on the paddle behind the steering
wheel spokes to down-shift to the next gear.
To use the system, shift from PARK (P) position to
SPORT MODE (S) while stopped and with the engine
running, or from DRIVE (D) with the vehicle moving.
When accelerating your vehicle from a stop in snowy
and icy conditions, you may want to shift to second (2)
or third (3) gear. A higher gear allows you to gain
more traction on slippery surfaces. If the traction control
is active, upshifts are delayed to increase your control
of the vehicle. See Traction Control System (TCS)
on page 4-6.
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 second gear as the vehicle
stops. From a stop, the vehicle will start from and hold
second (2) gear unless the driver manually paddle
shifts into a different gear or selects DRIVE (D). The
driver can select first (1) gear for maximum acceleration
from a stop.
