Acura 2011 RL - Manual (Page 417)

Drive in the highest gear that lets
the engine run and accelerate
smoothly. This will give you good
fuel economy and effective
emissions control. The following
shift points are recommended: When you are in sequential shift
mode, and the vehicle is stopped,
pull the
(right) paddle shifter to
shift to second gear. You will see
‘‘M2’’ in the display. Starting in
second gear helps to reduce
wheelspin in deep snow or on a
slippery surface.
You pull both paddle shifters at
the same time.
You pull one of the two paddle
shifters with another paddle
shifter being pressed.
