I wonder if others have a similar experience? When driving casually in “D”, the engine always seems to “lug” or is sluggish at 15-30 mph, especially on an uphill incline. So now, I have been shifting it to ”Ds“ (or second gear) when I come to an incline and it does much better. Which leads me to believe that under normal driving, it never seems to use this 2nd “gear” (I know it’s not a gear).
I also have begun on occasion starting in “L”, shift to “Ds“, then D. It seems to perform much better. I don’t know if there are any pros or cons to doing all this manual shifting. I know we shouldn’t have to be do this
