Default E-shift

Can someone show me how to use the E-shift? I just brought this car from my uncle and he lost the manual that came with this car. Therefore, I don't know how to operate the E-Shift function. Thank everybody

Put the car into drive, tap the shifter into M then you will see displayed on your dash the number 5. That 5 represents the gear the car is in. Use the "Down" buttons on the steering wheel to get the car down to 2. Second gear, even though second gear is displayed the car will go into 1st by itself and change into second. Then when you need to change into 3rd use the "Up" buttons directly behind the steering wheel in line with the "Down" buttons.
Have fun.

after driving my car for some time I still regard the E-Shift as a "gimmick" - and a really fun one at that! I couldn't see using it to blow off the line, but on the highway to slingshot around slower vehicles it's PERFECT!
