Downshifting an MR

What happens if you manually downshift an MR too early while breaking?

1. shifts anyway which could hurt the car
2. delays the downshift until revs are safe and then downshifts
3. ignores the command completely
4. other?

I'm pretty sure that if you downshift wayy too early, it will beep at you and refuse. Might want to get a second opinion on that however. I have downshifted and it has redlined before though, so I am not sure what the threshold would be if I am correct about the beep/refuse.

If it is outside the safe parameters, it ignores it and double beeps

Beep Beep...and does nothing. I run into this quite a lot because in normal mode it takes a little time for the paddle to respond. Shift lag if you will. So sometimes, I hit the paddle, and nothing happens for a bit then I hit it again...of course its shifted by the time I hit it again so it beep beeps at me. The lag goes away in sport and S-Sport mode.
