ght-hand paddle towards
you. To downshift pull the left-hand paddle
towards you. The current gear position
appears in the gear position display, see Gear
Position Indicator, page 3.35.
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 program
selected, and there is no need to release the
accelerator pedal to change gear.
WARNING: For safety, in manual
mode only, 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 moving, 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.
When the vehicle speed is below 6 mph
(10 kph) or the vehicle is stationary with a
gear selected, select a downshift and hold the
paddle to select neutral.
