How do you keep it from upshifting in manual mode?

just got this '15 S 550 to go with a 911 and whenever I paddle shift down to second gear it subsequently starts up shifting after a few moments.
Is there a trick to get it to behave since the rpms barely reach 3000?.

Using Sport Mode or pulling the " - " more than 2 second ..Former will keep the gear longer but kills MPG on the other than latter should downshift more than 1 speed at which gear you're going .If there's Sport Plus Mode you can also select that mode

Unless you have an AMG model there is no true manual mode in these cars.

It’s probably a prevention of keeping the car in a low gear and high rpms. People are dumb they might accidentally hit the shifter and drive around in 1st gear, blow out the trans and blame the dealer
