DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION
The Dual Clutch Transmission provides an extremely connected feel with very fast shift times for maximum performance. The transmission is electronically contro\
lled using the shift switches located on the center console. The selected gear position\
illuminates in red on the shift switch.
Park – Press the P button to shift to Park.
Reverse – Pull the R switch to shift to Reverse.
Neutral – Press and hold the N button until the indicator is red to shift to Neutral.
Drive – Pull the D switch to shift to Drive.
MANUAL MODE
The Dual Clutch Transmission can be shift-ed manually using the paddles behind the steering wheel.
With the transmission in Drive, press the Manual Mode (M) button to shift manually. Pull the left (–) steering wheel paddle to downshift and the right (+) steering wheel paddle to upshift. The current gear is displayed on the instrument cluster and HUDF. The transmission will hold the current gear until a change is requested. Pull the Drive (D) switch to return to Drive.
To engage temporary manual paddle shifts, pull either the left (–) \
or right (+) steering wheel paddle with the transmission in Drive (D). The transmission will\
return to auto-matic shifting after approximately 6 seconds of cruising at steady speed\
s and without any manual shifts or by pulling and holding the right paddle for more th\
an 1 second. Automatic shifting also will return when the vehicle stops.
To downshift to the lowest gear possible for the current vehicle speed, \
pull and briefly hold the left (–) steering wheel paddle.
If vehicle speed is too fast or too slow for the requested gear, the shi\
ft will not occur.

Double Paddle Declutch allows the vehicle to temporarily disconnect the \
engine from the wheels, similar to shifting to Neutral.
Pull and hold both the left (–) and right (+) steering wheel padd\
les at the same time to activate Double Paddle Declutch. The gear position indicator on the cent\
er console will flash red and the gear position indicator on the instrument cluster wi\
ll turn gray. Release both paddles to exit Double Paddle Declutch.
