This is wrong, sorry. Had a drive tonight and the first nudge to the left puts you in Sport mode (i assume thats what the S means) which is still full automatic but waits longer before changing up, generally higher revs. This will make a big difference if you're concerned about turbo lag, but at the expense of fuel economy. If you nudge up or down when in Sport, you switch to tiptronic semi automatic.

I had a potential sitting duck moment when I didn't see a car behind a lorry on a roundabout. Floored it in normal mode after a gradual slow down and it picked up very quickly, no worries, car still intact
