Has anyone actually seen this? In other words, you're in "A", you mash the pedal to the floor with the dsc on, the car accelerates and goes out of "A" into "S"? That's how I read the description:

Emergency Acceleration

Emergency Acceleration is possible regardless of the shift mode (A-Mode or S-Mode) or the DRIVELOGIC position engaged.
Depressing the accelerator pedal quickly to the floor without the brake pedal depressed will engage emergency acceleration. The engine RPM will come up very quickly and the clutch will be pulsated to ensure maximum acceleration. Wheel spin will be limited even if DSC is switched off.
When this mode is activated subsequent shifts must be made manually.

I've never seen this happen...

Nick, please elaborate - i did not get what you said...
