Thank you -- had no idea! I keep learning about "hidden" features from other owners... not enough time to go go through that huge owner's manual (which could easily be cut down to a 1/4 of its size without losing anything...).
You can up/down shift with both the left and the right shift buttons on the back of the steering wheel. comes in very handy after some getting used to it, if you use manual mode a lot.
If you turn off the trac control (as much as you can), in manual you can get the back of the 350 to step out in 1st and 2nd pretty easily. Also helps if it's wet from rain, makes it much easier. But it is hard to control as even with the traction off, it's never really off and you have to fight with it constantly.
But it is possible to get a nice donought.
Is the trac control simply on/off or are there different levels of defeat? I have an 07 R350 and from what I can tell you push the button and the triangle warning appears on the dash...not sure what exactly is defeated or is the amount of "slip" allowed is simply increased.
