Is Steering Wheel Shifting Useful?

[Ida]

Steering wheel shifting is useful in the following situations: 1. Using paddle shifters when overtaking: When overtaking, use the paddle shifters, then increase the throttle to overtake. After the operation, return to automatic mode, and the car will automatically determine which mode it is in. 2. Using paddle shifters for acceleration when starting: This can quickly bring the car to the desired speed. Select manual mode (usually via a button), then push the gear lever to the "D" position, and use the paddle shifters to upshift or downshift. That is, first place the gear lever in manual mode, then use the paddle shifters to freely switch to the desired gear when the engine speed is appropriate. 3. The paddle shifters are located on the left and right sides of the steering wheel's inner arc: The functions of the two paddle shifters are the same; one is not for upshifting and the other for downshifting. Instead, lifting them toward the driver with the index and middle fingers is for upshifting, while pressing them toward the steering wheel with the thumb is for downshifting.
