OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
PADDLE SHIFT MODE
• Paddle Shift Mode is a driver-interactive transmission feature that offers manual
gear shifting to provide you with more control of the vehicle. Paddle Shift Mode
allows you to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and
downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
• This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations.
• Refer to the Starting and Operating section of your vehicle's Owner's Manual on
the DVD for further details.
FUEL ECONOMY (ECO) MODE
• The Fuel Economy (ECO) mode can im-
prove the vehicle's overall fuel economy
during normal driving conditions.
• Press the "ECO" switch in the center
stack of the instrument panel and a
amber light will indicate the ECO mode
is engaged.
• When the Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode
is engaged, the vehicle control systems
will be able to change the following:
• The transmission will upshift sooner
and downshift later.
• The overall driving performance will
be more conservative.
• Some ECO mode functions may be
temporarily inhibited based on temperature and other factors.
NOTE:
• When Sport Mode is enabled, the vehicle's air suspension system will operate in
"Aero" Mode. Please refer to "Quadra Lift" within this section for further information.
