What is the Tutorial on Using Paddle Shifters?

[SanIan]

Here is an introduction to car paddle shifters: 1. Position: The most common placement of paddle shifters is on the left and right arcs inside the steering wheel. 2. Function: Both paddles serve the same function—they are not one for upshifting and one for downshifting. Instead, lifting them toward the driver with the index and middle fingers upshifts, while pressing them toward the steering wheel with the thumb downshifts. 3. Method One: For most mid-to-high-end cars, when using paddle shifters, the gear lever should first be placed in manual mode, usually controlled by a button located under the steering wheel. 4. Method Two: When the vehicle is in D (Drive) mode, you can manually force a gear shift at any time using your fingers. This operation is particularly useful when you need rapid acceleration for overtaking.
