The transmission control system

monitors the accelerator pedal use

and your driving conditions. When

you press the accelerator pedal as

in normal driving, the system

judges that you are driving at a

constant cruising speed without

using the paddle shifters. Under

these conditions, D-paddle shift

mode is canceled, and the

transmission automatically

returns to drive mode (D).

You upshift before the engine

speed reaches the lowest

threshold of the higher gear.

You pull both paddle shifters at

thesametime.

If there is a problem in the

transmission while you are driving

with the paddle shifters, the D

indicator flashes, the D-paddle

shift mode is canceled, and the

transmission returns to drive

mode (D).

Each time you pull either paddle

shifter, the transmission shifts one

gear up or down. If you want to shift

up or down more than two gears, pull

the paddle shifter twice, pause, and

then pull it again.

The automatic transmission will not

allow you to shift up or down if:

You downshift before the engine

speed reaches the highest

threshold of the lower gear.

If you try to do this, the gear

position indicator will flash the

numberofthelowergearseveral

times, then return to a higher gear.

Hold the paddle shifter for 2

seconds to return to drive mode (D).

When the transmission returns to

drive mode (D), the displayed gear

number disappears.

The transmission remains in the

selected gear if you do not accelerate.

The transmission downshifts to first

gear and returns to drive mode (D)

when the vehicle comes to a

complete stop or the vehicle speed is

about 9 mph (15 km/h).
