I took the Paj to get some fuel this morning. Normally it's the missus' daily driver.
Was driving in 4H.
Noticed the following behaviour that it has today and I gotta say I don't remember the car doing this in the past:
When stopped at an intersection, idling, if you push the gear selector into Sports Mode, it won't show "1" in the number below D in the instrument cluster like many cars do. You know how some cars let you start off in 2nd? Yeah, I couldn't do that. The first time I pushed it into Sports Mode it did actually flash "1" VERY briefly before disappearing but thereafter didn't show again.
When I start off and the revs and speed get up a bit, by which time I'm in 2nd gear, only then will "2" appear in the instrument cluster. And then I can speed up and select 3, 4 etc. However, if I slow down enough, the number will disappear. I can't manually select 1st even if I'm going slow enough.
As mentioned, this is unlike many other sports mode cars I drive including my daily driver / commute vehicle, a Kia which lets you select all gears?
Also while driving just around the back streets in Sports Mode (2, 3 4) the LED was on for most of the time suggesting the TC was locked up, which I don't remember occurring so much after I first installed it, but maybe I just hadn't noticed it.
Is the Sports Mode selector issue (in particular) normal behaviour on the Paj?
