I have a new 2008 XC70 with the 6 speed auto/shift-tronic. When moving away from a stop, with the selector in D, it starts up in 1st which is so low as to be impractical and a waste of gas. If I use the shift-tronic mode and start up in 2nd it is smooth and doesn't jump off the line. Can the CPU be programed to start up in 2nd when the selector is in D and still have 1st available in shift-tronic mode if needed? Maybe the shift point from 1st to 2nd can be programed to be almost at once, like 1000 rpm or less.
thnx in advance, i rmn & etc... Jim A.
