Driving with the Paddle Shifters (Sport only) The transmission control system monitors the accelerator pedal use and your driving conditions. When you press the accelerator pedal as in the normal driving, the system judges that you are driving at a constant cruising speed without using the paddle shifters. Under these conditions, D-paddle shift mode is cancelled, and the transmission automatically returns to drive mode(D). The transmission remains in the selected gear if you do not accelerate. Each time you pull either paddle shifter, the transmission shifts one gear up or down. If you want to shift up or down more than two gears, pull the paddle shifter twice, pause, and then pull it again. You cannot downshift with the paddle shifter before the engine speed reaches the upper limit of the lower gear. If you try to do this, the gear position indicator will flash the number of the lower gear several times, then return to a higher gear position. Also, you cannot upshift with the paddle shifter before the engine speed reaches the lower limit of the higher gear. The transmission downshifts to first gear and returns to drive mode (D) when the vehicle comes to a complete stop and the vehicle speed is about 6 mph (10 km/h). If there is a problem in the transmission while you are driving with the paddle shifters, the D indicator flashes, the D-paddle shift mode is canceled, and the transmission returns to drive mode (D).
