HONDA 2010 Insight - Manual (Page 319)

To shift up or down, use the
(right) or
(left) paddle shifter on
either side of the steering wheel.
Pull the (right) paddle shifter to
upshift. Pull (left) to downshift.
When you pull either paddle shifter,
the shift indicator shows you the
selected speed number.
Downshifting gives you more power
when climbing, and provides engine
braking when going down a steep hill.
When you are driving in the D
position, pulling either paddle shifter
switches from the ordinary
automatic transmission (CVT) to the
D-paddle shift mode. You can shift
the transmission up or down through
seven-stages manually with the
paddle shifters.
When the transmission returns to
ordinary automatic transmission
(CVT), the displayed shift indicator
disappears.
