Auto to manual= one change down

Folks this may be something or just me getting used to the car (2 weeks now). We I move the stick from Auto to +/- it changes down one gear, to which I just + and put it (usually) into 6th. Is this normal?.

2006 RRS HSE 6 speed (sorry don't know which one!).

Normal your putting the car into sports mode so it drops a gear ready to accelerate or as you e already found out you can select the gear manually. Almost like having 3 gearboxes in 1. Also if I remember correctly in sports mode it won't select 6th gear unless you select it manually with command shift. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

No that is a furfy.

In Sport Mode it will automatically go into 6th gear but it takes a lot longer to do it - not sure of the exact, parameters but the car has to be going faster than something like 85kph and hold a steady speed for a minute or two - so not likely when driving around town but does it on the freeway - likewise if you are at about 110kph on the freeway and change to sport mode it does not change down to 5th. Going slower - say 80 and it will.

It will automatically upshift to 6th in Sport if you venture too far up the rev band too, sort self preservation mode! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
