How do I manually shift gears in an Audi A8?

I am having trouble shifting gears in my Audi A8. Can anyone provide details on how to manually shift gears in this car?

To manually shift gears in an Audi A8, first locate the gear shift on the center console. Then, press the brake pedal and move the gear shift to the desired gear position. It is important to note that manual shifting should only be used in specific driving situations, such as going up or down steep hills. Doing so can help to optimize the engine's performance and fuel efficiency.

I have found that practicing in a safe, open area can help you get used to manually shifting gears in your Audi A8. It requires a bit more effort than automatic shifting, so it may take some getting used to. Remember to always use caution and follow the recommended gear shifting guidelines in the owner's manual.
