Paddle Switches

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The paddle switches are hardwired to the right steering wheel switchpack. Operation of the paddle switch completes a ground path to the right steering wheel switchpack. The right steering wheel switchpack converts the completed ground signal into a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) signal. The LIN signal is passed through the Steering Wheel Module (SWM) to the Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM). The BCM/GWM converts the signal into a High Speed (HS) Controller Area Network (CAN) powertrain systems bus signal to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).

The paddle switches allow manual gear selection while in DRIVE or SPORT position. Operate the left downshift paddle switch for downshifts and the right upshift paddle switch for upshifts. To exit manual mode, pull and hold the right upshift paddle switch for approximately 1 second. The transmission returns directly to the previous automatic operation in DRIVE or SPORT.
