Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I have a 2020 Civic Sport. It has a sport mode place in the gear selection, below drive, and I'm wondering what exactly it does. I looked in my manual but the manual doesn't seem to be specific to my car, and I have no idea if I have all of the options that it mentions.
In my old car I had a manual mode, and when you pulled the shifter to M it acted basically like a push-button manual transmission, except that it would downshift if you slowed down too far for the gear you were in...but it would not upshift until you pressed the upshift button. Does Sport mode on my civic work this way? It's a CVT, so there aren't any gears as I understand it...so I'm not sure what it's doing when it's "shifting."
If I put the car in sport mode and ignore the paddles, will it shift up and down on its own? This car is so fun to drive that I want to play around in sport mode but I can't figure out how it works and what it does and I don't want to damage the car.
I've been all over Google and YouTube trying to find a clear answer, but so far, nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
