Hi,
I saw Manual mode option in the EAT8 gearbox.
Can I ask, Is that useful this manual mode?
I think, it looks more complicated...
Thank You
manual mode in EAT8
Hi...is it not the same as in the '6 speed'..you just use the paddle shift,up/dpwm the gears so youre in control as to when you change gear...i've only used mine once to give me that 'race boy' feeling ..but also give you thr option of engine braking in tricky conditions....
I only use it for engine braking on steep descents.
It’s the only manual override of an automatic gearbox I have come across when you ONLY have paddle-shifts.
Usually you have the gearstick option as well.... so BEWARE don’t move the gearshift into neutral by accident as I did, expecting to be able to operate the system by gear shift!!

Geoff,
On the gear stick there is a square black button "M". Press it and use the paddle shifts to manually change the gears up and down. There is no need to touch the gear shift again, unless it's to switch off the "M" button and return to automatic mode.

I use the M button and the paddles but on previous cars I had the option, when in “manual mode”, to use either the paddles or the gear lever... it took a bit to get used to not using the gear lever when on previous vehicles I could use either paddles or gear lever. Now I’ve got used to it it’s fine but initially I kept trying to use either the paddles or gear lever with interesting results!

Geoffh,
I know how you feel. The changes in technology is sometimes difficult to keep up with. I tow a caravan and the quick method of using the paddle shifts are a blessing. As I can keep both hands where they are needed the most. The only thing I dislike is the method of making changes to the heating and ventilation system, I would prefer switches and knobs.
