Tips for using paddle shifters: 1. Depress the clutch and release the accelerator; 2. Quickly shift the gear lever from second to third gear; 3. Observe the engine tachometer, and when the RPM drops to 1,686, follow the clutch release operation to enter the semi-clutch state. As a quick shifting device, paddle shifters can enhance driving operability to a certain extent. When operating paddle shifters, drivers generally only need to shift into D, S, or manual mode. With paddle shifters, drivers can complete gear shifts without taking their hands off the steering wheel. Automatic transmission vehicles equipped with paddle shifters are undoubtedly semi-automatic, because the function of paddle shifters is to shift up or down. Although manual mode is used, the essence of the transmission remains an automatic transmission.
