Did you know about temporary shift range
Straight out of manual -
This was taken off the UK forum its interesting to try with the gear selector indicator in the display screen. This gearbox has a lot of good things going for it except the fluid change. Cheers

To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-”paddle shift
switch. The shift range can then be selected by operating the “-” and “+”
paddle shift switches. Changing the shift range allows restriction of the
highest gear, preventing unnecessary upshifting and enabling the level of
engine braking force to be selected.

I do this all the time when not in manual mode. Leave it in drive and coming towards a stop just hit the - paddle and it blips straight to 5th. It'll stay there for a little then puts itself back to D. Of course you can go up and down but I find manual mode to be better for that.

Snow mode always starts in second gear. All that S mode does is limit the highest gear the transmission will use. It does nothing else. It is no different than the 2 - 1 you've seen for years on just about everything with an automatic transmission, its just convenient you can invoke it with the paddles while driving.
