D-Paddle Shift Mode
To engage the D-paddle shift mode, press either of the steering wheel mounted paddle shifters while driving in D. In this mode, the transmission can downshift by pressing the paddle shifter -, or upshift by pressing the paddle shifter +. Each time the transmission is shifted using the paddles, the shift indicator in the gauge control module displays the current position. The display turns off when the transmission upshifts or downshifts automatically while coasting. The transmission stays in the current gear and does not upshift to the next higher gear if the paddle shifter + is pressed while driving below the minimum allowable speed, and the shift indicator blinks the number of the next higher gear several times, then returns to the number of the current gear.
