Hitting either of the steering wheel paddles should immediately invoke manual mode and execute a shift (even if the shift lever is NOT in the left, manual position). If you then do nothing, the car will go back to normal "Drive" mode after a few seconds.

If the shift lever is in the left, manual position, the paddles should work all the time and the car should stay in "Manual" mode.

Sounds like the paddles are not working at all and it's time for a trip back to your dealer.
