Comfort D
Comfort S
Sport D
Sport S
Sport+ D
Sport+ S

I have found in my Sport Ind mode (which is everything Sport+ except the gearbox in Sport) that a quick flick to the left and I have a much more proactive gearbox, and then when I'm done a quick flick to the right and I am back to cruising.

I also discovered that temp man mode (by just hitting a paddle in D) can be reset back to D by holding the right paddle.

I have also discovered holding the left paddle while kicking down forces the gearbox into the lowest possible gear.

One last thing is that Sport+ in S mode is even more aggressive - nice!

Thanks so much everyone, this has been very helpful
I’ve noticed that in S mode it shifts the same no matter it’s in comfort, sport or sport plus. It may downshift one gear when going into S mode temporarily. And sport plus in D is basically the same as S in any mode as far as how it shifts but different throttle mapping and throttle response/sensitivity.
