    the PDK transmission has cold temperature shift mapping until fully at operating temperature

    while using a slow / light throttle warm up ( driving easy ) for the engine / drive train, tried the Sport Plus option to see what the cold temperature response was... initial shift point mapping reverts to what seems like basic drive mode, also got the impression there also was an intermediate shift profile as the engine warmed up before finally being in full Sport Plus mode as indicated by the rpm and gears being selected and further verified by the displayed temperature at point of change Tried the same procedure on a couple of mornings, confirming that Sport Plus mode is not activated until at full operating temperature.... it may be possible to override the warm up shift mapping by heavy throttle application, but there is no point to pushing things while cold since the engine / trans are at operating temp soon enough ( in less than a couple of miles )... the computer is monitoring fluid temps before turning things loose
