And in S you can invoke manual by pulling or pushing the gear lever (forward to downshift, back to upshift).

Agree it’s annoying but it’s a problem with all automatics I think.
I’d also like to know what gear I’m in all the time?
I tend to use 'D' all the time and flick gear-lever to sport when approaching a roundabout or junction for better take off

Why not use S all the time, then? If you're pootling along the gearbox will learn to upshift earlier and not hold lower gears, but when you get on the gas it'll pretty soon get on your case. ZF/Jaguar have done a great job with the programming.
