Upshifts and downshifts are executed only 
when they will result in a plausible combination 
of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for example, 
a downshift that would cause the engine to 
overrev will not be executed by the system. The 
gear selected is briefly displayed in the instru-
ment cluster, followed by the gear actually 
in use.
Shifting gears via shift paddles* on the 
steering wheel
The shift paddles allow you to shift gears with-
out taking your hands off of the steering wheel.
>
When you use the shift paddles on the 
steering wheel to shift gears in automatic 
mode, the transmission switches to 
manual mode.
>
If you do not accelerate or shift gears using 
the shift paddles for a certain amount of 
time, the transmission switches back to 
automatic mode.
If the selector lever is in the M/S gear 
plane, manual mode remains active.

against selecting the wrong gear, even in 
sequential mode
