Reason I asked is because I thought I read a thread that someone said when they use the kickdown button on the SMG it downshifts for them. Now I forgot which thread it was.

It only works in D mode not M...

Or works only in M mode when you want to use Acceleration Assist, then it will upshift for you.

Ya.. Like EBMCS03 said, the kickdown will work when in Auto mode with Sport button engaged. The car will downshift for you.

Hollywood, ya keeping notes?
