Acura 2009 RL - Manual (Page 412)

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.
To shift up or down, use the
(right) or
(left) paddle shifter on
each side of the steering wheel.
When you are driving in 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.
When you pull either paddle shifter,
the gear position indicator shows you
the selected gear number.
