Smart-Paddle Shift Mode
When in the Normal Mode or the ECON Mode, engage the smart-paddle shift mode by pressing either of the steering wheel mounted paddle shifters while driving in D, In this mode, the transmission can downshift by pressing the paddle shifter - (downshift switch), or upshift by pressing the paddle shifter + (upshift switch). Each time the transmission is shifted to any of the seven speeds using the paddles, the shift indicator in the gauge control module displays the current position. The system returns to the automatic shift mode and the shift indicator display turns off when the paddle shifter + (upshift switch) is held for about 2 seconds, when the optional Mode switch is pressed, or when the PCM detects a steady cruise.
