Driving With The Paddle Shifters - Honda 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 D-normal drive mode,
to 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.
380
To shift up or down, use the ＋
(right) or － (left) paddle shifter on
either side of the steering wheel.
GEAR POSITION INDICATOR
Each time you pull ＋ (right), the
transmission shifts to a higher gear.
Pull － (left) to downshift. You will
see the selected gear number on the
instrument panel.
When you pull either paddle shifter,
the gear position indicator shows you
the selected gear number.
