Controls on Shift Knob

abokor · 04-05-2018, 04:56 PM

On the upper top of the shift knob is a toggle that has lines in the middle and arrows on either end. What does it do? I thought I read that it controls the shift points in the various modes, but curious what owner's experience is with it.

To change speed more rapidly.
3 level / mode

Good difference between mode and it's very useful to have this 3 mode.

Yes, it changes the character of the shifting significantly. In the most aggressive setting the car will hold gears for quite a while and downshift aggressively. It feels *great*.
