Good luck and keep us informed!
Well, there's something I did not know. Thank you! I was doing exactly that to test it (in manual mode). I also thought that it could be the transmission not downshifting earlier on D3. The truth is I've been babying the car lately and perhaps has "adapted" to soft driving. On D5 it does not happen, the transmission shifts preventing the hesitation to happen.


Thanks all for the brainstorming. I will keep you posted.
