Hi

can someone explain me this please:

why when i put gear shifter in sport mode it always put in to gear 4?while driving or stationary it always showing 4 until i shift up or down.is this is safest gear or something?to me it feels when selecting gear 1 while sitting at the traffic light and pressing full pedal it starts much faster.is it safe?

many thanks in advance

The main purpose to shift in MANUAL mode is to have a proper engine braking going downhill, so it' s reasonable to have a gear not too low, even more if you consider that actually there are no real gears in eCVT .

Considering this and the chance to pass from normal to sport mode while moving, 4 is a good choice.
