I think you may have misunderstood. In manual mode:
- If you give any throttle input (including flooring it) and don't touch the paddle, it won't change gear
- If you floor it but don't push it through the detente (the "resistance point"), it will only downshift one click at a time through the paddles / shifter
- If you slow down to too slow a speed in a higher gear, DCT will eventually downshift for you
The multi-downshift mode only happens if a) you floor it past the detente, and b) click the downshift paddle. DCT will then shift down multiple gears.
