D-Paddle Shift Mode

When the paddle shifter is pressed while in the D position/mode, the D-paddle shift mode comes into operation. The shift indicator displays the number of the current gear. At this time, during the high speed stage (above 8th gear), the transmission can be shifted down by skipping two-stage at least, according to the driving conditions. In the D-paddle shift mode, the transmission can be shifted into a lower gear or a higher gear by pressing the paddle shifter. The D-paddle shift mode is canceled when the paddle shifter + (upshift switch) is held for several seconds, when the D position/mode is canceled, or when the TCM detects a steady cruise.
