When you are driving in D position,
you can shift the transmission up or
down manually with the paddle
shifters.
Each time you pull the
(right)
paddle, the transmission shifts to a
higher gear. Pull the
(left) paddle
to downshift. You will see the
selected gear number on the
instrument panel.
When you pull either paddle shifter,
the gear position indicator shows you
the selected gear number.
To shift up or down, use the
(right) or
(left) paddle shifter on
each side of the steering wheel.
Downshifting with the paddle shifter
allows you to increase the engine
braking when going down steep or
long hills, and provides more power
when climbing uphills. You can
upshift the transmission manually to
reduce the rpm. Driving in the
higher gear helps fuel economy.
