Or is there another way to get back to regular "M" mode after tap shifting that I'm not aware of?

I've been wondering about this because sometimes I like to shift down for that burst of power...but then I'm done and just want to immediately go back to regular "M" mode. Don't really want to shift to "D" and back to "M." I guess that will become second nature after a short while, though, eh?

Any thoughts out there...?
It will stay in "D" or "M" until you physically shift it from one position or the other. These are physical locations on the console shifter. The shifter will never move on its own. There are however circumstances when in "M" mode when it will auto shift gears for you. I haven't fooled around with that enough to remember specifics but I believe that is kind of a failsafe functionality to keep you from over revving a gear.
