Im part time comedian. :P
I did this during my test drive. Had the gear in auto mode, decided to try to break the paddle or sst by downshifting & upshifting 1gear up/down (2nd to 3rd to 4th back to 2nd to 4th) two gear up/down. Sales person was holding on to the holy shit handle in the passenger seat. lol.
When I finally bought my RA, sale person told me "let's go on a test drive"
My reply: "No need to test drive it, I already know what it is capable of."
Sometimes you may want to leave it auto mode & overwrite auto mode with paddles. In doing so you may upshift 2gears instead of one.
There are afew things you can do.
As Jackal mentioned,
-put it in manual mode. You shouldnt have the +1 gear skipping.
-or downshift before you upshift with the paddles in auto mode depend on your throttle input/position.
The thing about using paddle in auto mode is when you come back to full stop it goes back to auto mode.
