Transmission With your vehicle in drive (D), the paddle shifters provide temporary manual control. They allow you the ability to shift gears quickly, without taking your hands off the steering wheel. You can achieve extensive manual control by moving the gearshift lever to the sport (S) position. • • Pull and release the right paddle (+) to upshift. Pull and release the left paddle (-) to downshift. The transmission automatically upshifts if your engine speed is too high or downshifts if your engine speed is too low. Note: The system stays in manual control until you make another shift button selection. For example, drive (D). Note: Engine damage may occur if excessive engine revving is held without shifting. Brake-Shift Interlock WARNINGS Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the brake lamps are working. When doing this procedure, you will be taking your vehicle out of park which means your vehicle can roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always fully set the parking brake prior to doing this procedure. Use wheel chocks if appropriate. If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. See your authorized dealer. Note: Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible if this procedure is used. Note: For some markets, this feature will be disabled. Use the brake shift interlock lever to move the gearshift lever from the park position in the event of an electrical malfunction or if your vehicle has a dead battery. Apply the parking brake and switch the ignition off before performing this procedure. E144821 The system determines when temporary manual control is no longer in use and returns to automatic control.
