Steering wheel paddles*
In addition to the manual gearshift function using the gear selector, the paddles make it possible to manually shift gears from the steering wheel.
Activating the paddles
In order to shift gears with the paddles, they have to first be activated. To do so:
- Pull either paddle toward the steering wheel and release it; the D in the instrument panel will change to M and the number of the gear currently being used will be displayed.
Manually shifting gears
In shift mode M, the paddles are automatically activated.
Shifting
To shift one gear:
- Pull either paddle toward the steering wheel and release it.
"–": Shift down one gear.
"+": Shift up one gear.
A gear shift will take place each time a paddle is pulled if the engine speed (rpm) is within the permissible range for the selected gear.
The gear number shown in the instrument panel will change after each gear shift.
Deactivating the paddles
Manually
- Pull both paddles toward the steering wheel and hold them until the number of the current gear is no longer displayed in the instrument panel.
Automatically
If the paddles are not used for a period of time, they will deactivate automatically. The number of the current gear in the instrument panel changes to "D".
The paddles will remain active if engine braking is currently being used.
