Shift Paddles

Is there a way to disable them. Wife keeps hitting them by accident and drives around in a lower gear. Would be nice if they were only active in sport mode.

Tell her to stop grabbing the wheel so firmly. You could also swap out to a pre-facelift wheel....which just has the shift buttons on the back.
