Paddle Shifters

manual transmission (1st through 6th). 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.
● The selected gear position is shown in the instrument
panel.
