there are no "stored" settings that you can affect. the car adjusts to your current driving style and selects one of a few different pre-programmed modes. once you relax your lead food, the car goes back to the default "granny" mode.

if you are going fast and slam on the brakes, it will downshift (if it can do so and stay below the red line). smash the accelerator and enter a turn, it will stay in the lower gear.

additionally, a "double tap" on the gas will downshift 2 gears, skipping the one in the middle; 5->3 vs. 5->4->3 for instance whereas a "single tap" downshifts only 1 gear.
