Acura 2010 RL - Manual (Page 406)

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
either side of the steering wheel.
When you are driving in the 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.
When you pull either paddle shifter,
the gear position indicator shows you
the selected gear number.
Downshifting gives you more power
when climbing, and provides engine
braking when going down a steep hill.
