If no other shift in 7 seconds it reverts to auto
auto mode shifts at maximum revs in track mode only,each other mode is where you would expect and auto to shift
. i drive in manual all the time,in sport /track ,but on the odd occasion i want a very low gear for maximum effect i hit the auto button before flooring the throttle,this is quicker than manually changing down 4 gears and she sets off like a scalded cat !!!
limey,you mis-understood (or i didnt explain right ) You are cuising in 7th in track/manual powertrain say 2000rpm,to make a quick geatway you would normally floor the throttle and flip down the box with the paddle to maybe 3rd. If you want a bit more drama,press the auto button (dont touch the paddle ) and floor the throttle,the box will instantly drop from 7th to 2nd or 3rd and your in a rocketship (brace,brace to save your neckAndy,
Is this example correct:
In Auto Mode (Powertrain switch in 'Track)' ... I pull the paddle to drop down into 2nd (A/M illuminates), then floor the accelerator, and from that point on the car will make it's shifts automatically through all the remaining gears with redline shifts ??
I ask because I'm use to driving only manual transmissions ....... this i my first paddle shifting thingy.
) and then it automatically carries on only changing at max revs till you run out of road , but you can only do this for a matter of miliseconds before you have to back off.Let me know if i explained it right !!
Ahhhh LimeyBloke there's that catchy little word, "thingy" didn't expect to see so soon. Something came to mind that I thing would really be great, we should all produce little video clips "except those that are camera shy"** demonstrating exactly what is suppose to be done. This explaining how procedures are done can become extremely confusing, especially when dealing with little thingy's it's these little thingy's at times can be so complicated. **Oh and by the way you wont be seeing my ugly mug on camera anytime soon, on top of which I'm extremely camera shy. Cheers....??Andy,

OK but it does not appear to be distracting enough to remind you to upshift when one is so focus on the road ahead whilst driving hard to the redline.
If you miss the shift indicator then slamming into the rev limiter shortly afterwards usually brings things back into focus don't you think?OK but it does not appear to be distracting enough to remind you to upshift when one is so focus on the road ahead whilst driving hard to the redline.
You need a Spider, your Holiness.
I concur Belg with your statement noted above, I love my coupe. Cheers....??
