Seriously though, it’s just about the only driver selectable setting that doesn’t over ride itself if you go too fast!

It wouldn't have mean in my old D3 as it wouldn't ever go into 6th in low box. The D4 does go into low 6th but resisting the urge to head out to the M25 to explore the limits. Thumbs Up
