Driving With The Paddle Shifters - Acura 2011 RDX Owner's Manual

Driving with the Paddle Shifters

Using the Paddle Shifters in the D
position (D-Paddle Shift Mode)
When you are driving in the D
position, pulling either paddle shifter
switches from the ordinary automatic
transmission [drive mode (D)] to the
D-paddle shift mode. You can shift
the transmission up or down
manually with the paddle shifters.
Downshifting gives you more power
when climbing, and provides engine
braking when going down a steep
hill.

To shift up or down, use the ＋
(right) or － (left) paddle shifter on
either side of the steering wheel.
