In my E class if I use the paddle shifters the car obviously switched gears. But after just a couple of minutes it goes back to full automatic.

If I am driving my amg in C, or S and wanted to downshift using my paddles approaching a light or just want to here that hotness, does/will the car automatically at any point go back to full auto? If not what do I have to do to get it there?

I was playing around with the modes last weekend and like a donkey in M took off hard a few times and I guess just not being used to it forget to switch gears fast enough. Feel like I abused my car a little :-/

Still love and want to use that downshifting feature though.

With mine when in C S or S+ I often downshift with the paddle.
To get back to 'auto' mode it's just a matter pulling the paddle and holding it for a second or so and it's back to auto shifting. This works if stationary or moving.

great thanks. Which paddle would you hold? Up shift or down shift?

I've always held the up paddle but for no reason. Never tried the down paddle.

Great. Planning on driving it tomorrow to work for a change so will test it out then.

in C S or S+ mode if you are holding downshift I will go to the lowest possible gear, holding upshift it will go back to full auto mode.
