Using the Steering Wheel to Shift

(Option/accessory.)

The steering wheel paddles are a supplement to the gear selector and make it possible to shift manually without removing your hands from the steering wheel.

The function is available in position D or M.

Change

To shift:

• Pull one of the paddles toward you, then release it.

As long as the engine speed (rpm) is within the permissible range for the selected gear, a gear shift will take place each time a paddle is pulled. The current gear will be displayed in the instrument panel.

In the M position, the paddles are automatically activated.
