Paddle Shifters
● Paddle shifters allow you to shift gears much like a
manual transmission (1st through 5th). This is useful for
engine braking.
● D-paddle shift mode: The transmission will shift back to
automatic mode once the system detects that the vehicle
is cruising.
● Sequential shift mode: Holds the selected gear, and the M
indicator comes on.
