That's what I'm talking about!! As soon as someone mentioned 9 modes, I knew you'd chime in with the proper explanation. Awesome insight Q.

Cheers.

Can't be more explicit :) thanks Q always appreciated ..since we are here, i've heard in this forum that in sport mode you can downshift gears by hitting the gaz pedal short tap ... Is that true, i've tried many time with no results ?..

I know in sport mode when descending relatively steep hills, a quick jab of the brake pedal will downshift.

Okay it's on the brake !! I was keeping trying on the gaz pedal :doh:

I can't validate that with anything I've read on the subject, nor deduce from any of the AGS/EGS features or programming that indicates this to be so...other than if the vehicle begins to slow down to the point that that transmission would automatically shift down a gear due to engine RPM vs actual speed caused by the application of the brakes.
