Changing from Sequential to Auto mode in Sport...

evanevery · 10-15-2018, 11:10 AM

Anyone know a better way to change back to "auto" mode from Manual/sequential/paddle mode when in Sport Setting?

- When first put in Sport, the transmission operates in "auto"
- Tap a paddle and it then goes into manual/sequential mode
- But how to get it back into auto WITHOUT having to push the shifter back to Comfort mode (and then back to Sport again)?

Seems to be a bit of overkill to have to change the operating mode back from Sport to Comfort just to get the tranny back in auto mode... ...and then to have to tip it immediately back into Sport!

Surely there must be a better way! Anyone know what that might be?

Hold the right paddle (up shift) in for a short time and it will revert to Sport-Auto.
