How to Use the Button Gear Shift in Honda URV?
1 Answers
Honda URV's button gear shift has specific operating methods. Below are the gear shifting techniques for Honda URV: Usage of paddle shifters: First, press the brake pedal, shift the gear to "D" position, then push the gear lever towards the passenger side. At this point, you can use the "+" and "-" paddle shifters on the steering wheel to shift up or down. Although manual mode is a bit more cumbersome, it allows precise control over gear shifts at the appropriate RPM and torque. Uphill: Use "D-" to downshift for greater torque, making the power output more robust. If you find the power sufficient, use "D+" to upshift to protect the transmission and engine. If the power is still insufficient, you can switch to S mode (Sport mode). Downhill: It is recommended to use "D+" to upshift, using 3rd gear for gentle slopes and 2nd gear for steep slopes, which can prevent premature wear of the brake pads. 1st gear has too much torque; generally, 2nd or 3rd gear can provide adequate braking effect. Similarly, if the vehicle starts to accelerate downhill, use "D-" to downshift and control the speed.
