Paddle shifter (Manual shift 
mode)
OIK063018
The paddle shifter allows the driver to 
shift gear without taking one's hands off 
the steering wheel.
The paddle shifter operates as follow.
• Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once to 
shift up or down one gear and the 
system changes from automatic shift 
mode to manual shift mode.
• To change back to automatic shift 
mode from manual shift mode, do one 
of the following:
- Pull the [+] paddle shifter for more 
than one second.
- Drive the vehicle under 4 mph (7 
km/h).
- Gently depress the accelerator pedal 
for more than 6 seconds.
- Rotate the shift dial to the D (Drive) 
position.
 
If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are pulled 
at the same time, gear shift may not 
occur.
 
Good driving practices
• Never shift the gear from P (Park) or N 
(Neutral) to any other position with the 
accelerator pedal depressed.
