Seamless Shift Gearbox
2.20
The gearbox mode indicator displays A . All
gear changes occur automatically, but if a
gearshift paddle is operated the gearbox will
adopt a temporary manual mode. This mode
will remain active for as long as the driver
continues to make manual gear changes,
each within an eight second period. The
gearbox mode indicator displays
A/M , see
Gear position indicator, page 3.14.
NOTE: As soon as an eight second
period has elapsed without a manual
gear change being made, the gearbox
will revert to automatic mode.
Gearshift paddles
To upshift, pull the right-hand paddle
towards you. To downshift pull the left-hand
paddle towards you. The current gear
position appears on the gear position
display, see Gear position indicator,
page 3.14.
NOTE: The single-piece paddle and
central pivot enables upshifts and
downshifts to be made using either
paddle.
As an alternative, upshifts can be
made by pushing the left-hand paddle
away from you and downshifts can be
made by pushing the right-hand
paddle away from you.
The gearshift paddles operate irrespective
of the handling and powertrain mode
selected, and there is no need to release the
accelerator pedal to change gear.
WARNING: For safety, in manual
mode, the vehicle will monitor
engine speed and may perform an
automatic gear change if necessary.
WARNING: Do not change down for
additional engine braking on a
slippery surface.
NOTE: If operating the paddles in
automatic mode, the gearbox will
revert to automatic changes if an eight
second period elapses without a gear
change being made.
To immediately shift to the lowest possible
gear whilst the vehicle is braking, select and
hold a downshift on the paddle. The vehicle
will then go down through all gears
sequentially until the optimum gear is
reached or you release the paddle.
