Semi Manual, lets you shift your own gears without the clutch. I have never used mine once, redundant. But I am sure others swear by it.

Sport Mode by pressing the Sport button is not related to sport (DS) mode on the transmission shifter.
Push the gear shift lever left for DS mode and higher RPM shifts. It will also choose lower gears for turns, etc. Then push forward (-) for downshifts or pull back (+) for upshifts. Once you do that, you are in manual mode, meaning it will hold the gear until you push/pull the lever again, go above/below the acceptible RPM range, or come to a stop. At which point you'll be in 1st, still in manual and have to shift with the lever when taking off again.

I only switch to D/S mode when I'm stationary. It feels wrong to change the transmission algorithm on the fly.
