Did you have your foot on the brake pedal constantly till you stopped or did you release the pedal while the car was still rolling with a speed of 5 km/h?

All the examples with the car in COMFORT mode.

From the little experience I have with this awesome gear box, if you hit the pedal hard (kickdown), it will downshift by two gears. It's normal. The delay from 1st to 2nd gear is also due to kickdown. This happens whenever you press the accelerator pedal harder than normal in any other gear. Try this: start with 1st and 2nd gear normally and hit the accelerator pedal in 3rd. You' ll see that it won't change in e.g. 3,000 rpm but in 5,000 or 6,000 rpm. When pressing the pedal hard, the gear box detects ("feels") that you need more speed (higher revs) so it will change gear in higher rpm. I don't know if I am wrong but this is how I perceive it...
