-But I don't think it shifts up automatically..
If it is in drive, it will shift back up, just takes a second or so.

This isn't the case on some or all of the 2010's. Later year models will.

I think it would be physically impossible to hit the button with your knee ... I just can't picture it in my mind.

How in the He!! Do you get your knee behind the upper portion of a sterring wheel? Must be lying down in the floor with your legs straight up in the air...if thats the case. Paddle shifting on the Lye isn't your BIGGEST problem..............being blind drunk is..........lol


EDIT: I'll recant........Just noticed you've got the new and improved 2012 "Function over Form" Steering Wheel with real, abet misplaced paddle shifters ........never mind!

Ahhh !!! That makes sense now, didn't know the 12's didn't just have the buttons. With the buttons there is no way in hell you can hit them with your knee.

You might try adjusting that to see if it helps.
