Use this procedure to shift your transmission manually.

Manually Shifting in Drive (D)

Use this feature when you need immediate shift response, for example overtaking another vehicle.

• Pull the (+) paddle to switch the feature on.
• Hold the plus paddle to switch the feature off.

Note: This feature will turn off if paddles are not used continuously while driving.

Manually Shifting in Sport (S) (If Equipped)

• Pull the (+) paddle to switch the feature on.
• Hold the (+) paddle to switch the feature off.

Using SelectShift

• Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
• Pull the left paddle (-) to downshift.

The instrument cluster displays the current gear.

Note: Your transmission could downshift or upshift if you fully press the accelerator pedal.

Note: Your transmission will downshift at low engine speed, to prevent the engine from stalling.

Note: Engine damage can occur if you hold high engine speed without shifting.
