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.

Why does the Elantra's horn suddenly stop working while driving?

The reasons why the Elantra's horn suddenly stops working while driving are: 1. Short-circuit the horn button switch. If the horn sounds, the horn button is damaged; 2. Turn off the ignition switch, remove the positive wire from the horn, and use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the horn coil and the insulation resistance between the horn coil and the shell. If the coil resistance is infinite, the horn coil is burned out; 3. If the insulation resistance is zero, the horn is grounded.
