What are the plus and minus signs on both sides of the steering wheel?
1 Answers
The plus and minus signs on both sides of the steering wheel are paddle shifters. Pressing the plus paddle once increases the gear by one, while pressing the minus paddle once decreases the gear by one. Operation of paddle shifters: Paddle shifters are generally located behind the steering wheel. When using paddle shifters, the driver typically only needs to shift the gear into D, S, or manual mode. With paddle shifters, the driver can perform gear shifts without taking their hands off the steering wheel. Advantages of paddle shifters: Since paddle shifters are located behind the steering wheel, shifting gears is very convenient and efficient. This device is widely used in many rally races, circuit races, and even F1 events.
