The automatic transmission has paddle
shifters on the steering wheel and a
Manual mode that allows you to shift gears
similar to a manual transmission.
While in Drive (D), use either paddle behind the steering wheel
to temporarily take control of gear selection. Automatic shifting
returns after the accelerator pedal is held steady for 6 seconds.
Pull the right paddle to upshift or the left paddle to downshift.
The current gear will be displayed on the instrument cluster.
Move the shift lever to Manual (M) to enter Permanent Tap Shift
Mode. Use the paddles to manually shift the transmission.
If current vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested
gear, the shift will not occur. SHIFT DENIED will display on the
instrument panel.
