Driving with the Paddle Shifters
The automatic transmission (CVT)
will not allow you to shift if:
You downshift before the engine
speed reaches the highest
threshold of the lower speed.
If you try to do this, the shift
indicator will flash the number of
the lower speed several times,
then return to a higher speed.
You upshift before the engine
speed reaches the lowest
threshold of the higher speed.
You press both paddle shifters at
the same time.
You pull one of the two paddle
shifters with another paddle
shifter being pressed.

mode, press and hold both paddle

for maximum engine braking when
going down steep hills.
