thank you both for the clarification. One other question, is it normal that when in sport mode, and going downhill that the engine revs up high and it acts kind of odd? I’ve never driven sport mode and my last car was a 2005 Ford Focus lol
That was the first thing I noticed when I test drove my car in Sport mode. I went down a mild decline and my engine immediately went up to 3K RPM and held steady. If I'm not mistaken, it is keeping you in the "power" range for your engine for quicker response when reapplying throttle, etc.
When you are going down a hill in normal mode, it will upshift to save fuel, which means it will have to downshift if you give it heavy gas, etc. to regain that low end power to provide a quicker acceleration.
When in Sport mode, it is keeping it in the high RPM range so when you apply any throttle, the response will be much quicker.
Whether it works the best or not, I believe that is what it's trying to do.
