7 speed mode

[ananta108]

Hello folks
Does anyone use it (it is a switch on the steering wheel)
If so, what is the advantage, is it best used on long journeys on motorways or urban driving
Also, I think related, is what are the paddle shifts behind the steering wheel useful for?

Many thanks

When I had my MK1 I found the 7 speed and paddle shift idea when wanting to make a quick overtake.
When behind a slower vehicle click 7 speed, and when the opportunity presents paddle shift down 2 clicks and accelerate.
Just like driving a manual gearbox.
I didn't use it all that much but it did prove that the jazz can get up and go.
It's probably the only thing I miss in the crosstar.
Happy motoring.

I only used it to drop down a gear or two to control my speed going downhill.

The car has a CVT gearbox, basically it doesnt have any gears. But Honda kinda wanted the customer think that there are 7 virtual gears, so its not weird (eventhough the car doesnt treat the gearbox as 7 speed during the normal driving)

We have same type of gearbox in our Mk3 and i use it as others said already, for overtaking. You click down few gears, bringing the revs up  so the car can overtake better.

And also engine braking is an option
