S mode auto shift?
Hey Everyone,
As most of the people that keep up with the threads here know I just got a IS350 Fsport. I was testing the machine tonight, and people were right on the freeway the throttle response is half a second faster with sport mode on, but i noticed that the regular speed range on the freeway will automatically put me in 4th gear. It also does this even if im idle on a stop light. My question is if it hits redline does the computer automatically force it to switch to 5 or will I still need to manually shift it? Will the gears go back down itself if I slow down a lot?
Thanks everyone for the advice will test more soon, but I'm still in the breakin period!
