Driving with the paddle shifters – Acura 2009 RL User Manual
Page 407

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.
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 the 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.
