1 Answers
When upshifting with paddle shifters, you should release the accelerator. The operating steps for paddle shifters are as follows: 1. Fully depress the car's brake pedal; 2. Start the car and let it idle; 3. Place the automatic transmission lever in the D position; 4. Use the paddle shifters on the steering wheel to shift up or down. The paddle shifters are located on the left and right sides of the steering wheel arc. Their function is to allow the driver to shift gears without using the clutch pedal, keeping both hands on the steering wheel. The features include convenient operation, high efficiency, and improved driver control. There are two types of paddle shifters: 1. Fixed type: During steering, the steering wheel rotates while the paddle shifters remain stationary; 2. Follow-up type: During steering, the paddle shifters rotate along with the steering wheel.
