FORD 2014 Explorer v.3 - Manual (Page 211)

SelectShift Automatic® Transmission
Your SelectShift automatic transmission gives you the ability to manually
change gears if you’d like. To use SelectShift, move the gearshift lever
into M (Manual). Now you can use select shift to manually change gears.
If your vehicle is equipped with (+)/(–) buttons on the side of your
gearshift lever:
• Press (–) on the gearshift lever
button to manually downshift the
transmission.
• Press (+) on the gearshift lever
button to manually upshift the
transmission.
Paddle Shifters (If Equipped)
The paddle shifters allow you to shift gears quickly, without taking your
hands off the steering wheel. Temporary manual control is provided
when pulling the paddles with the gearshift in the D (Drive) position.
The system will determine when temporary manual control is no longer
desired and reverts back to automatic control. Extensive manual control
can be achieved by moving the shifter to the M (Manual) position. The
system will stay in manual control until the shifter is moved out of the
manual position.
If your vehicle is equipped with paddles on the steering wheel:
• Pull the left paddle (–) to
downshift the transmission.
• Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift
the transmission.
