Transmission
Manual Paddle Shift
(Automatic Transmission)
The Manual Paddle Shift system
can be used in D (Drive) or
M (Manual Mode). The system is
activated by pressing the left paddle
to downshift and the right paddle to
upshift. The current gear will be
displayed in the instrument cluster,
or the Head-Up Display (HUD),
if equipped. The Manual Paddle Shift system will
not allow either an upshift or a
downshift if the vehicle speed is too
fast or too slow, nor will it allow a
start from 3 (Third) or higher gear.
See
Manual Mode 0183.
Active Rev Match (Manual

shifting by matching the engine
speed to the next selected gear.
The system is normally off. It is
activated and deactivated by
pressing either of the paddles
marked REV MATCH on the
steering wheel. See Active Rev
Match 0188.

single trip.
. Replace the vehicle's tires with
the same TPC Spec number
molded into the tire's sidewall
near the size. .
Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.
