Shifting
To shift one gear:
Pull either paddle toward the steering wheel and release it.
"–": Shift down one gear.

A gear shift will take place each time a paddle is pulled if the engine speed (rpm) is within the permissible range for the selected gear.
The gear number shown in the instrument panel will change after each gear shift.
