Thread: D4 SDV6 Sport Mode?

Hi all,

Still getting my head around the new motor, haven't got the hand book with me to check, but can anyone shed light on the sport mode for me? Specifically:-

1 - Is it ok to change between D & S whilst moving? Is there a speed limit to stay under between switching from one to another?

2 - I put it in sport mode when I left work last night then tried the Commander paddles. Once you flip a paddle, how do you go back to automatic shifting again? I ended up driving the whole way home using the paddles as I had no idea how to cancel it.

3 - If you use the paddles in D mode (can you even?) does it also then become a pseudo manual, or do you have to somehow cancel out of that too? My partners Subaru automatically reverts back to auto after you've stopped messing with the paddles for more than 30 seconds.

4 - Last one for now, does Sport mode only affect the transmission or does the suspension stiffen too?

Thanks.

Any time, anywhere is fine

Pull and hold the right paddle for a few seconds and it will switch back to auto.

In my D4, in D it will switch back to auto after about 20 seconds

No suspension changes. You have to go to a RR for that :-)

It's all in the manual.
