N e-Shift

N e-Shift system is designed for EVs that consists of motor and decelerator only. The N e-Shift system gives the shifting feel of a automatic transmission of an internal combustion engine by controlling the VCU motor.

Settings

  • N2 button is initially set in the steering wheel. (You may change the button setting. Refer to "N Button" for more information)

  • Select Performance Options > N e-Shift in N mode screen and then press Activate button.

  • When N e-Shift is activated, the sound of N Active Sound+ will automatically turn to ignition mode.

Basic functions

  • Virtual shift control is possible to give the shifting feel of a automatic transmission of an internal combustion engine.

    • Shift Pattern: Differentiate pattern by mode, lower decreasing rate of braking, adjust shift, etc.

    • Shift feeling: Differentiate up/down shift by mode, down shift REV matching, WOT PUSH UP, etc.

    • Auto/Manual mode: When adjusting the left and right paddle shift lever, change it from automatic shift mode to manual shift mode (to cancel manual mode, hold the left paddle shift for 2 seconds, then it will change to automatic mode)

  • Sound effect: Internal/external sounds that are matched to the simulating engine RPM/motor torque by gear

    High-performance sound effect: Sound of after-fire tip out/bubbling sound, P/ON up shift bang sound

  • Interface realization: Auto/manual mode (paddle shift), cluster (motor RPM, gear stage)

  • The function will only activate when the vehicle is in the Ready mode.

  • You may use this feature in all driving modes, except ECO mode.

  • You cannot use N e-Shift when Smart Cruise Control, N Drift Optimizer, N Grin Boost, N Launch Control, or Remote Smart Parking Assist is operating or when the Electric Vehicle system malfunctions or when the high voltage battery level is low.

  • When N e-Shift activates, ECO mode, N Grin Boost, Smart Cruise Control (Speed Limit Assist) will be deactivated. After deactivating each feature, you may reenter N e-Shift.

  • Temporary communication breakdown may interrupt N e-shift operation.

  • The sense of simulating gear shift can be affected by the condition of the vehicle (fully charged or discharged). Driver safety features (e.g. TCS/ESC) may also interrupt its operation.

The paddle shifter can be used as a manual gear in N e-Shift system. The left paddle shifter (°) is used to shift down gear while the right paddle shifter (²) is used to shift up gear.
