The engine control unit varies the charging rate of the battery and compensates as the battery ages over time. When you change the battery with a new battery of the same type and electrical rating, you should register the battery as new with the engine control unit (ECU) so the ECU knows there is a new battery in the car and that it is charged correctly. If you change battery types or electrical rating, you must code the ECU for the new battery as well.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
