I got scared off of DS mode when (below 1k miles) the G would really hang onto 2nd gear when accelerating out of a low speed turn. The handful of times I exceeded the 4k rpm boundary was in this manner.

DS = Damn Skippy!! er... "D"rive "S"port mode.
A quick search here brings up the whole write-up.
DS will shift a little more aggressively and hold higher RPMs and lower gears longer. It's a blast.
Manual requires you to manually shift.
DS mode is engaged when you pull the shifter left and leave it centered.

Downshifting is optional, if you want engine braking.
