I need help with Steptronic. Simply put, I have no idea how to use it and the owner's manual sheds very little light on it.
1. How are S1 and S2 supposed to be used? Are they OK to use under any speed? How do they affect the RPM? etc.
2. The manual says the car will upshift automatically but says nothing about downshifting. Obviously, you can up/downshift manually but does Steptronic up/downshift automatically for you based on speed? Meaning, once I put the gear into M/S, there is no need for manual up/downshifting. Is this right?
I'm afraid I'll damage the transmission or rev the engine too hard if I don't use it right (though I've read postings that say it's not possible as the computer prevents dummies like me from doing that.)
