P700 P700 won't upshift?

[duratime]

I just recently purchased a new P700. I have noticed when going down our long driveway that I most times the P700 will not upshift when going down a the hill. I not sure what we have to do to coax it into an up shift. Any thoughts? Thanks

Is it a deluxe model with the paddle shifters? Either way, the shifting will get much smoother and more predictable after a couple of oil changes. Will also be a lot less clanging when shifting after it gets broke in.

No, just standard model. Go to know about the shifting. Thanks

Not upshifting going downhill is a safety thing. Just blip the throttle and it should go ahead and upshift. You'll learn to appreciate the engne braking going down hills.

Thanks, I tried that, but maybe I have to be a bit more aggressive.
