Transmission Controls - Aston Martin VALKYRIE 2021 Manual

Transmission Controls

[1] : Downshift Paddle
[2] : Upshift Paddle
[3] : Neutral Button
[4] : Shift Lights
Forward Gears
Use the paddles (1) and (2) to select gears. Each pull of a paddle
will move the transmission up or down one gear at a time.
Selected gears will be shown in the steering wheel display.
Neutral Gear
Warning: Extreme care must be taken when neutral is
selected when the vehicle is in motion. Once neutral is
selected, you will not be able to select a gear again until the
vehicle is stationary. Not being able to select a gear on main
roads can cause an obstruction to other traffic which can
cause an accident resulting in injury or death.
To select neutral, use the N button (3) on the steering wheel. If
neutral is selected you will not be able to select a gear with the
paddles until the vehicle is stationary. A gear must be selected
whilst stationary to enable the engine, E-motor and transmission
to be fully synchronised.
Reverse Gear
To select reverse gear, press the brake pedal and pull the
downshift paddle whilst the vehicle is stationary and in neutral
gear.
Gear Shift Indicator
(Sport and Track handling mode only)
The shift lamps (4) light up as engine speed increases to show a
visual aid for optimal gear changes. As engine speed builds, the
shift lights will light from left to right. When engine speed
approaches a shift point the shift lights will then change colour
and flash.
