To achieve rapid acceleration
(kick-down) while in D, quickly press
the accelerator pedal to its full travel.
When the accelerator pedal is relaxed,
normal automatic gear changing
resumes.
Note: If pressure is applied to the gear
selector before the brake pedal is
pressed, the selected gear may not be
available. In this situation, remove
pressure from the gear selector, make
sure that the brake pedal is pressed
and then select the required gear
again.
2. To select Sport (S) mode from D, press
the gear selector down and rotate to
S. The relevant LED indicator lamp, by
the gear selector, will illuminate to
confirm selection.
The transmission will stay in the lower
gears for longer, improving mid-range
performance.
To deselect S mode, rotate the gear
selector back to D.
Note: Before selecting D, R, N or P,
make sure that the vehicle is stationary
and the brakes are applied.
3. Commandshift gear selector paddles:
Allow manual gear selection, while the
selector is in either the D or S
positions. Lightly pull the left paddle
for downshifts or lightly pull the right
paddle for upshifts.
Commandshift can be effective when
rapid acceleration and engine braking
are required.
A gear shift indicator warning lamp will
illuminate briefly at the recommended
(upshift) gear change point. See 57,
GEAR SHIFT (GREEN).
Note: If continued use of the
Commandshift gear selector paddles
is required, select S.
Note: The gear shift paddles can be
configured to be active in both D and
S, or active in S only, via the vehicle
settings/set-up. See 49, INSTRUMENT
PANEL MENU.
4. To manually change gear, briefly pull
the relevant steering wheel gear shift
paddle.
To exit manual gear selection mode,
either pull and hold the upshift paddle
for approximately one second (to
return directly to automatic operation
in D or S) or, if in S, rotate the rotary
gear selector to the D position.
To avoid injury, before exiting the
vehicle, always make sure that the
rotary gear selector is in the P
position, the engine is switched
off, the Electric Parking Brake
(EPB) is applied, and the Smart
key is removed from the vehicle.
Never select P while the vehicle is
in motion. Doing so can result in
serious transmission damage.
Never select R while the vehicle is
in forward motion. Doing so can
result in serious transmission
damage.
Never select a forward gear while
the vehicle is moving backwards.
Doing so can result in serious
transmission damage.
Do not rev the engine or allow it to
run above normal idle speed, while
selecting D or R or while the vehicle
is stationary, with any gear selected.
Doing so can result in serious
transmission damage.
