Downshifting
Pull the left-hand steering wheel paddle shifter.
The automatic transmission shifts down to the next gear.
If you brake the vehicle or stop without shifting down, the automatic transmission will shift down to a gear that will allow the vehicle to accelerate or pull away again.
For maximum acceleration, pull the lefthand steering wheel paddle shifter until the transmission selects the optimum gear for the current speed.
