How to Use Paddle Shifters on the Steering Wheel?

[DeJessica]

Steering wheel paddle shifters usage is detailed as follows: 1. Paddle shifters are generally located behind the steering wheel: When operating the paddle shifters, the driver only needs to shift the gear into D, S, or manual mode. Using the paddle shifters, the driver can complete gear shifting operations without taking hands off the steering wheel. 2. Since paddle shifters are positioned on the rear side of the steering wheel, shifting gears is very convenient and efficient: Paddle shifter devices are widely used in many rally races, circuit races, and even F1 events. 3. Precautions for using steering wheel paddle shifters: (1) Automatic transmission vehicles equipped with paddle shifters are actually semi-automatic vehicles, as the function of paddle shifters is to shift gears up and down. (2) Although the vehicle is in manual mode, the essence of the transmission is still an automatic transmission. Human control can never match the precise shifting timing controlled by a computer.
