Paddle shifter: (if equipped)
The paddle shift function is available when the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position or the manual mode.
With the shift lever in the D position
The paddle shift function will operate when the vehicle speed is more than 3 km/h.
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once to shift up or down one gear and the system changes from automatic mode to manual mode.
When the vehicle speed is lower than 2 km/h, if you depress the accelerator pedal for more than 6 seconds in constant speed or if you shift the shift lever from D (Drive) to manual mode and shift it from manual mode to D (Drive) again, the system changes from manual mode to automatic mode.
When pulling the [-] paddle shifter over a certain time (0.5 second) after taking driver’s foot off the accelerator pedal, the transmission will downshift to allowable minimum gear. If the [-] paddle shifter is operated over a certain time while the brake pedal is applied, an additional downshift can occur when the brake is kept applied. (except CUV)
With the shift lever in the manual mode
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once to shift up or down one gear.
If you pull the [+] and [-] paddle shifters at the same time, you cannot shift the gear.
