maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.

If equipped with steering wheel
paddles:
With your vehicle in drive (D), the paddle

steering wheel.
You can achieve extensive manual control
by moving the gearshift lever to the sport
(S) position.
• Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
• Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift.
