I have just changed my 2007 SE for a new SD4 hse lux automatic and have a few questions about the gearbox.

When you move the gearshift to the left for M/S, the central display will show "Command Shift Selected" before it changes to a golfball displaying the gear number that you are actually in. Subsequent shifts up/down will reflect in the display. Hope that helps. Foraging near Gaydon....

And don't forget the auto box adapts to your style of driving - it might take a while to adapt fully |

Don't you have to move it over to the left to select Sport, then forwards or back to select Command Shift |

I also moved from a manual 2007 SE to a 2013 HSE Lux and think it is really great. I sometimes have a play in manual mode, especially in a built up area with steep hills, as the auto can hunt between gears at certain speeds but really has plenty of torque to cope without changing. I found it difficult to find information on how the gearbox 'learns' your driving style and how it copes with more than one driver in the family. My local dealer tells me that it remembers the previous two hours of use and bases it's operation on that. He may be telling me porkies, as I don't know any different but that would make sense to accommodate different drivers. Anybody know any different? Overall, love the car but getting used to higher fuel consumption compared to the manual SE. However, it has only covered just over 4k miles, so maybe hope for the future! 2007 SE Manual : Gone and missed but 2013 HSE Lux is better!

Using in sport mode makes it pull away in 2nd gear ! No good for towing !
