Quick Reference Guide
Paddle Shifters (P322)
Paddle shifters allow you to shif t gears much like a manual transmission (1st throu gh 9th). This is useful for regenerative braking.
You cannot shift up or down while in EV mode.
When the transmission is in (D (D-paddle shift mode)The vehicle will go into the sequential mode momentarily, and the gear selection
indicator becomes more prominent.
The sequential mode is automatically canceled and the gear selection indicator
returns to ordinary display un der the following conditions.
•Hold the (+ paddle shifter for a few seconds.
•Once you start traveling at a constant speed.
•The vehicle comes to a complete stop.•When you change to another IDS mode.
The sequential mode automatically shifts under following condition
•Accelerator pedal depressed beyond the click.
•Engine speed reaches near the tachometer’s red zone.•Engine speed reaches idle speed while deceleration.
When the transmission is in M (Manual) modeThe vehicle will go into the sequential mo de, and the gear position indicator goes
off and only the gear selection indicator is displayed.
You can cancel this mode by pressing the button, pulling the
( + paddle
shifter for a few seconds or changing IDS mode to QUIET. When the sequential
mode is canceled, the display is changed from only the gear selection indicator to
both of the gear position indicato r and the gear selection indicator.
The transmission automatically shi fts up from 1st to 2nd and does not
automatically shift up between 2nd and 9th gear.D/M

1High Voltage Battery Charge Level Gauge
The High Voltage battery ch arge level may decrease
under the following conditions:
•When the 12-volt batter y has been replaced.
•When the 12-volt battery has been disconnected.
•When the High Voltage battery control system
corrects its reading.
The charge level readin g will be corrected
automatically while driving.
Changes in the temperature of the High Voltage
battery can increase or decrease the battery’s
charging capacity. If temp erature changes cause the
battery’s capacity to change, the number of
indicators in the battery ch arge level gauge may also
change, even if the amount of charging remains the
same.
