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.
