essential information
I have no interest in which gear I am in, why would you. It is silky smooth and goes faster when I press the accelerator pedal. If you want a lower gear for quicker acceleration just press down further on the pedal. Note the M (Manual) is only available on the ST Line with steering wheel paddles. It is L (Low) and no paddles on the Titanium.
So how's the dct to drive ? Is it keeping the revs in suitable range ? What I mean is that is it keeping the revs high enough when cruising uphill for example ? Since some automatic gearboxes keep so low revs that the engine will rumble and shake.

Maybe because you have a Manual Transmission The chances are you will see it if you remove the VIN filter.
Ahh cheers. Does tell me how the start/stop works for auto transmission though.

Yes, probably last century. This is my fifth Ford powershift. I have never experienced any rumble and shake. The revs and gear setting are always appropriate to the load and speed in every situation. You just leave it to the electronics. It just gets better as the technology improves.

Just text - Low (L) provides maximum engine braking. You can shift into low (L) at any vehicle speed.
Not something I would probably use. Perhaps suitable for going down steep hills.
So there's no manual shift option whatsoever on titanium?

No, it’s supposed to be a luxury car. We wouldn’t demean ourselves to such menial tasks The Low (gear) option is for touring mountainous regions etc. as we spend our leisure time while retired while being massaged in our seats
