temporarily disconnect the engine from the
wheels – similar to N (Neutral). This feature
is activated by pulling and holding both the
+ paddle and − paddle at the same time

or M (Manual Mode). The vehicle will
remain in this condition until both the
+ paddle and − paddle are released.
The R, D, or M indicator on the center shift
console will flash red to indicate that the
vehicle is in Double Paddle Declutch. In

the DIC may dim to gray to indicate that
the vehicle is in Double Paddle Declutch.

the + paddle and − paddle. The engine will
reconnect to the wheels and the shift
indicator will stop flashing. There are two
Double Paddle Declutch exit styles:

the paddles are released: The further the
accelerator pedal is pressed, the greater the
