I think Shiv posted some instructions. He would probably know best.

Just disable the traction control fully before the car rolls on the dyno. To do this, press and hold the DTC button for 5 seconds. Then put the trans into Sport mode and pick 4th gear. Start the run at 2000rpm and finish it just before it upshifts at 6700rpm. Press the throttle until you feel the downshift kickdown click at the end of the travel. Don't press it into kickdown mode or it will downshift and screw up your dyno attempt

My car is still 2 weeks from being delivered so I have not tried it but can't you put it in sport mode and manually shift it up until you are at 2000 rpm in fourth to start the run. I didn't think it would down shift unless you stopped or were going very slow?

it only automatically downshifts if the gear you are selecting would put the car into rpm's lower than 1000 rpms... and it wont go below 2nd without you telling it to. This is so you dont try and pull out into traffic forgetting its in 5th gear, and kill yourself.

Even the SMG in sequential mode will downshift itself if the RPMs go too low as to bog the engine.
