Found a peculiarity not mentioned in my owner's manual.

If I'm in D with my DSG 6-speed, and push both flippers (behind the steering
wheel) at the same time . . . it shifts into DSG mode. But as soon as I stop
it goes back to D.

Anything further I should know about this?

In my A3 TDI140 DSG I can enter into the "manual" mode pushing only
one of the flippers. It is useful for doing a kickdown without
pressing the accelerator.

It would be quicker, and I wouldn't have to take my hands off the wheel.
Nice! Thanks, Andres
