Here's how mine are. I will be arrested for passing in SportShift. I can do the fly at any speed. With my joystick in the player, I pull to the left SportShift mode. Wondows on a dashboard to tell me that I am Sport mode and who I am If I leave him with a stop in sport mode, I'll stay in 1st gear until I push the lever forward. It is clear to where it was and when I push forward again, he goes to the second. The same with the 3rd and 4th. If I need the SHIFT key, I pull back and it moves down a gear. Pull back and another speed. If you want an idea of how changes to your car, it's normal "Drive" mode, just drive as usual and listen carefully without the music. When you start from a stop, you hear the engine as you accelerate and go a little faster. Then you will feel the automatic transmission (yes, that's why he calls for an automatic transmission) shift to high gear. Now in your second. A little faster and it moves again, and your third. Pay attention to how your car changes and you have a good idea time to change if you do it yourself. Listen to your engine when your slowing to a stop. If your cruise to a stop sign, start to slow down gently enough ways back and listen to your engine. You'll hear and feel the downshifts to lower ratios. Just make attention on your car, it does by itself and you have a good idea to spend some time. If your car is like mine, you can switch back into normal drive mode as your movement. Now your 16 and have not had your driver's license very long, do not go out and get a hotrodding wreck, if you do, your insurance going crazy. You can kill someone. A car can get away quickly and get out of control. It is a Much heavy metal flying at a speed fast enough to do serious damage to anything that falls into. You do not want to hurt someone you love, like your friends or your girlfriend is. And especially for you. I will not even talk about a speeding ticket will do for you. Shifting to the hand can be fun sometimes, but do not get carried away by it. In doing so, will the additional wear on your transmission and drive line and you have to spend money on repairs that you would much rather spend on other things. You'll save much more money on gas if you leave the car make its own changes, too. Best wishes and stay safe ..
