One thing I remembered about the paddle shifters was that I kept getting a shift denied message when I wanted to go into higher gears at lower speeds. For example...
In my manual scion while cruising at 30-35 mph on side streets and back roads I would put the car in 5th gear and on my instant fuel consumption gauge I would receive around 60-70 miles to the gallon.
I tried doing a similar tactic in the Kiz with the paddle shifters and it would say shift denied.

I was hoping that anyone could offer up advice on bypassing this or a way to get into the highest gear possible at the lower speeds

Easy, pop it to automatic first then pop it back to manual
