What is the function of the Mercedes-Benz paddle shifters?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz's paddle shifters are located below the steering wheel, with one paddle on each side. The left paddle is for downshifting, usually marked with a "-" sign, while the right paddle is for upshifting, typically marked with a "+" sign. When driving, the paddle shifters rotate along with the steering wheel, making it convenient to shift gears. Here is some related information about paddle shifters: 1. Introduction: Paddle shifters are gear-shifting devices installed on semi-automatic clutch systems in cars. Their function is to allow gear changes without using the foot clutch, directly by pulling the paddle shifters. This feature is widely used in racing cars. 2. Product Categories: Paddle shifters come in two types: fixed and follow-up. Fixed paddle shifters remain stationary relative to the dashboard, meaning they do not move when the steering wheel is turned. Follow-up paddle shifters remain stationary relative to the steering wheel, meaning they rotate along with the steering wheel during turns.
