when you're in automatic mode and accidentally shift ( up or down ) the car goes into manual mode for 6 seconds, then shifts back to automatic mode. if you're in the wrong gear ( say 5th instead of 2nd ) the car will shift into the right gear. however if you're in 4th and move to 5th it'll likely stay in 5 until 4 is called for. it won't automatically shift into the gear you were in unless it feels it's warranted. manual is really just automatic with less intrusion. even in manual mode the car will shift if it's required, like when you hit the rev limiter or when you've slowed down too much for the gear you're in. it will not however downshift if you floor the pedal like it will in automatic mode.
