Don't know if you can, unlike the diesels. Hope i'm proved wrong as there are times I feel the R350 petrol lacking somewhat, especially not kicking down quickly enough.

"S" (sport) mode will kick down with less throttle thank "C" (comfort) mode.

Thanks Steve. Once the winter's over, I'll maybe keep it in Sport for a while and see if it makes a difference.

did ty it? did that help? Or are you going to try it after winter?

I actually find that sport will help with traction because then I have the power to maneuver from having the right gear. But then I mostly use the e-shifters when ever I want a certain gear.
