shift button while moving the shift lever.
(
) : Press the shift button while moving
the shift lever.
(
) : The shift lever can freely operate.
Shift the lever from D into the manual gate to
activate manual shift mode.
Manual shift mode is a recalibrated automatic
mode that will hold gears longer and downshift at
higher RPM for a more dynamic driving style.
Manual shift mode
ECO mode
If you drive the vehicle with the shift
lever in D (Drive), the vehicle will automatically
change to ECO mode.
The ECO indicator will illuminate on the instrument
cluster.
When driving in ECO mode, the vehicle
improves fuel efficiency for eco-friendly driving.
SPORT mode
If you drive the vehicle with the shift lever in S (Sport),
the vehicle will automatically change to SPORT mode.
The SPORT indicator will illuminate on the instrument
cluster.
When driving in SPORT mode, the vehicle provides
more responsive powertrain performance, sporty but
firm handling, and the fuel efficiency may decrease.

NOTE:
Dual Clutch Transmission characteristics
The new technology of the Dual Clutch Transmission is different from
a traditional automatic or manual transmission:
• The Dual Clutch Transmission is an automatically shifting manual
transmission.
• Dual Clutch Transmission utilizes two clutches connected to a
computer-controlled manual gearbox. It provides the convenience
of a transmission that shifts automatically, with the efficiency of a
manual transmission.
• When you stop on a hill, if you remove your foot from the brake
pedal, the vehicle will remain stationary for approximately two
seconds to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards. If you
depress the accelerator pedal during the two second interval, the
vehicle will accelerate.
If you wait more than two seconds, the vehicle will enter creep
mode and may roll backwards if the hill is steep.
Caution
• You should always use the foot brake to hold the car on a hill until
you are ready to drive. Using creep mode to hold the car on a hill
may damage the clutch.
• If the clutch becomes overheated by excessive use of the clutch to
hold on a hill, you may notice a shudder feeling and a blinking
display on the instrument cluster. When this occurs, the clutch is
disabled until the clutch cools to normal temperatures. If this occurs,
pull over to a safe location, shift into P (Park) and apply the foot
brake for a few minutes.
• When you turn the engine on and off, you may hear clicking sounds
as the system goes through a self test.
This is a normal sound for the Dual Clutch Transmission.

NOTE:
When in ECO mode, the paddle shifter will adjust
regenerative braking when in D (drive).
