hello to all 

mine is mk8 fiesta 1.0 ecoboost 100ps automatic , my paddle shifters works fine in S gear mode , but the owner's manual indicates that they should work in D mode also but temporary , however they never worked in D for me , neither for any of my friends with the same car , so do they work in D for you ? thank you very much 🙂

    Yes, they work in "D" but only for about 3-5 seconds, if you don't touch them again the car goes back into "D".

    In "S" mode the car will stay in manual mode until you go back into "D"

    Yes, it shows "D1, D2, D3 etc etc"

    In sport mode "S1, S2, S3 etc etc"

    I have just noticed that you are not in the UK so this must be a configuration difference for your market
