I'm sure if I look this up in the manual, I'll find it. But that's boring. Lol
From what I have figured out, I can activate the paddles by simply pressing them while in automatic. However, while in automatic, I can't see the status of the current gear, so, when I upshift or downshift via the paddles, the tranny shifts and then displays the selected gear.
I would have thought that one press of the paddle would have engaged "paddle mode", displayed the current gear, and not shift the tranny, as I don't necessarily want to chage gears when I only want to activate the paddle. How do you activate paddle mode, display the current gear and not have it shift upon pressing the paddle?
Alternatively, how do I get the gear status to display while in Automatic mode? At least if the current gear is displayed In automatic mode, then when I'm ready to use the paddles, I can decide which gear to shift to, as I'll know what gear I'm in.
The shifter has a sports mode, which allows you to shift using the gear selector That's what I've been using to prep for paddle mode. I shift into sport mode, the tranny goes into manual and the current gear is displayed, then I choose to shift via paddle or shifter.
It's a nuisance to have to go into manual mode in order to see what gear you're in.
For the break-in, I'm at a point where I can now use more than 50% throttle, but not in the first three gears. I have to shift into sport mode to confirm that I'm above 3rd gear, switch back from sport mode to automatic, then use more than 50% throttle.
Anyone know?
