your transmission has three modes. normal or economy, sport, and a "manual" mode. when you pull the lever to the left the transmission goes into sport mode, where the shifts are delayed a bit (it shifts at higher revs.) the transmission is still an automatic at this point.
once you move the shifter forward or backward in the left-hand position the transmission is in "manual" mode, where you do the shifting (to an extent).
