Default TDCi Powershift

Does anyone know if the shift points on the Powershift can be altered? I need the change up in normal mode to 5th at just below 60Kph rather than nearly 70Kph. Most changes happen at 2000RPM but I think 1800RPM would be better especially for economy, if you want a higher RPM up-shift you can use Sport Mode.

After swapping from my manual LT TDCi to the LV TDCi Powershift, I have found the fuel economy to be pretty ordinary and thing that driving around at nearly 2000 RPM to be what the problem is (700KM as opposed to 800+ est tank distance and 7.2L/100 as opposed to 6.5). I have used the manual control to use 5th at 60Kph and the car runs well, when you pay for an auto you would expect not to need manual control all the time.

Once you get past the quality/build issues, the new Focus is a very nice car.

P.S With only 1000Km's the engine could still be a little tight.
