Both mine did that for economy. Press down really hard on the right hand pedal and you may find yourself in first.
First is such a low gear that you have to shift into second so soon that second works for normal use. I engaged manual maybe 3% of the time, mostly for downshifting on rolling hills at lower speeds in suburbia. A TIP has several programs for when it shifts for you in Auto mode depending on how aggressively it senses you are driving.
The early TIPs need to shift into manual to use the buttons on the steering wheel, the later ones like my '01 you could use the buttons anytime.
