Driving with the Paddle Shifters
Using the Paddle Shifters in the
D position (D-Paddle Shift Mode)
On EX models
When you are driving in the D
position, pulling either paddle shifter
switches from the D-normal shift
mode to the D-paddle shift mode.
You can shift the transmission up or
down through seven-stages manually
with the paddle shifters.
Downshifting gives you more power
when climbing, and provides engine
braking when going down a steep hill.

SHIFT INDICATOR
When you pull either paddle shifter,
the shift indicator shows you the
selected speed number.
When the transmission returns to
ordinary automatic transmission
(CVT), the displayed shift indicator
disappears.
