The vehicle speeds required for Manual
Paddle Shift upshifts depend on several
vehicle inputs, which will vary the allowed
upshift speed by a few km/h.
To prevent damage to the powertrain,
Manual Paddle downshifts to a lower gear
cannot be done above certain speeds.

Double Paddle Declutch
Double Paddle Declutch allows the vehicle to
temporarily disconnect the engine from the
wheels
–
similar to N (Neutral). This feature
is activated by pulling and holding both the
+ paddle and
−
paddle at the same time
while the vehicle is in R (Reverse), D (Drive),
or M (Manual Mode). The vehicle will
remain in this condition until both the +
paddle and
−
paddle are released.
The R, D, or M indicator on the centre shift
console will flash red to indicate that the
vehicle is in Double Paddle Declutch. In
addition, the current gear state indicator in
the DIC may dim to grey to indicate that
the vehicle is in Double Paddle Declutch.
To exit Double Paddle Declutch, release both
the + paddle and
−
paddle. The engine will
reconnect to the wheels and the shift
indicator will stop flashing. There are two
Double Paddle Declutch exit styles:
Rapid Exit :
This is intended for use at a
closed course race track and not on public
roads. Engine power is reapplied to the
wheels quickly to support spirited driving.
The rate of launch is dependent on how
much the accelerator pedal is pressed when
the paddles are released: The further the
accelerator pedal is pressed, the greater the
rate of launch. Tyre spin may occur with the
accelerator pedal pressed and the Traction
Control System (TCS) turned off.
This launch occurs when both of these
conditions are met:
.
Vehicle speed is below 10 km/h.
.
Both the + paddle and
−
paddle are
released at the same time.
