Default question about sport mode

I dont know if this is normal and 2 years of owning it only recently i started using it. When i put my shifter in S and drive letting the computer shift for me, i notice when i brake rpm goes up about 300 when it downshifts.

That sounds normal. Since sport mode changes shift RPM, you will notice earlier downshifts and later upshifts

Hey Wink,

That is completely normal!

Sport mode makes a few adjustments to your shift points (both up-shift and down-shift) in order to tighten everything up and give you the "race-feel".

What you are experiencing is completely normal and nothing to be alarmed about.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!

-Will
