Is it possible to set off in 1st gear in auto mode when engine warm for best acceleration for 0-60 time

If you boot the throttle pedal it will kick down from 2nd to 1st, I think.

Switch to 1st when stationary using the steering wheel buttons but leave the gear-lever in auto mode.

Thanks, so it should or will change up to second with no over revving itself?

Over revving usually happens when you shift down (usually in a manual), not up. Hitting the rev limiter before shifting up is a completely different thing and is exactly why the rev limiter is there.

I was always under the impression that any auto will have the fail safe of not enabling a down change if it results in an over rev. So one of the advantages of the Tip is it almost can't be over revved
