4. Push either paddle once to up-shift to the next
gear. Pull either paddle once to down-shift to
the next gear.
The vehicle will begin moving in first gear
upon acceleration. For better control in icy or
slippery conditions, the vehicle may start
out in SECOND (2), rather than FIRST (1).
This will only occur if you have "tapped up" to
second gear.
3. The paddles are
located on the
steering wheel.
They are used to
up-shift or down-shift
the transaxle.
For more information, see Up-Shift Light on
page 179
The up-shift light will only appear in the instrument
panel cluster if the HUD is off or if the vehicle
does not have HUD.
This prompt to up-shift, as needed, will be given
throughout acceleration. If up-shifting does
not occur when prompted, the vehicle speed will
be limited to protect the engine.
The gear position will display on the DIC and
HUD, if equipped, when in manual mode.
The up-shift light on the
instrument panel cluster,
or the up-shift symbol
on the HUD, if
equipped, is given as a
prompt to use the
®
TAP-Shift paddle.
