The paddle shifter is available when the shift gear is in the D (Drive) position.

With the shift gear in the D position:

Pull the î or ï paddle shifter once to shift up or down one gear and the system changes from automatic mode to manual shift mode.

To change back to automatic shift mode from manual shift mode, do one of the followings:

  • Pull the î paddle shifter for more than one second.

  • Drive the vehicle below 7 km/h (4 mph).

  • Gently depress the accelerator pedal for more than 6 seconds.

  • Rotate the shift dial to the D (Drive) position.

If the î and ï paddle shifters are pulled at the same time, gear shift may not occur.
