Looks good. I see no paddles, so does that mean you bought the manual steering wheel ?

I know I would never use them. I am lazy. I have them on my other car and dont use them.

yeah they work all the time.

actually here's a little summation.

when you are in regular old driving mode you can flick the paddles any old time, after a bit and at steady rpm the car (say you are in 6 on the motorway) will shift back into drive from manual mode - or if you flick to sport and back. It will also automatically go back to drive if you drop under 10k's, so it's good for downshifting.

In sport it stays in manual mode until you disengage by shifting out of sport then it goes straight back to auto.

they kind of take some of the boredom out of daily driving an auto that's for sure. they basically work the same as the sequential shift on the shifter tbh except they work out of sport mode.

They work in drive but only for a short time then the car reverts from manual to normal drive.

Do the paddles work in drive or only in sports shift?
Drive and sport, if in drive they switch off below 10km and resume normal auto shifts. Will shift back to 1st when coming to a stop at lights in sports mode so just need to remember you have sport selected
