I see it as pointless. If my car had NOS it would be my activation switch though. then I would need a light that says "danger to manifold"

Matt, you already know this; manual is installed primarily as a way to get the svx to move in mucky/slippy conditions by using a higher gear to give good grunt at low-ish revs so the car does not have enough revs to defeat poor traction.

That's a mouthful, but, there, I've said it.

There is one other very good use for Manual shift map; when tuning on a rolling road, put your car in two range and switch on Manual. It will ignore 1 range and rev from nothing up to maximum permitted revs, before shifting to three range.

Your tuning shop will thank you very much.
