Shift Paddle Retrofit: Manual shifting reverts back to 'D' automatically - HugoRS10 - 07-28-2026
Hi everyone. I’ve recently retrofitted OEM shift paddles onto my 22.5 Volvo S60 Polestar Engineered. The paddles function, but when manual shifting in D or B mode, the car reverts back to automatic after a short while say maybe 3 seconds.
Is there an option or config I can change in Orbit that will command the car to remain in 'manual' shift mode without it automatically reverting back to a few seconds after shifting?
Makes the paddle shift retrofit an absolute waste of time, money and effort quite frankly otherwise.
Thanks ?

First change to manual mode by pulling gear selector towards back. Then in it will say M1, M2... instead of D1, D2.. and it won't revert back to automatic.

I'm afraid that is for older models, 22.5 and on don't have the manual mode option.
We have P N R D and B and no M.
