That's just a manual function within what still remains D. What I stated regards those modes in their standard form, gearstick in D, and gearstick in M/S. In lament terms, manual refers to the function of complete control, as the temporary manual only ensues the functions of the standard D mode, meaning it will start off in 1st, as D would.
