additionally, the floor shift lever also has another plane of operation, for manual mode, with spring-loaded + and − positions. this plane is selected by moving the stick away from the driver (in vehicles with the driver's seat on the right, the lever is pushed to the left, and in left-hand drive cars, the stick is pushed to the right) when in d mode only. when this plane is selected, the dsg can now be controlled like a manual gearbox, albeit only under a sequential shift pattern.
