It's not yours , is it ?
Slip it out of Drive into Neutral, then back into drive at low speed, and see what happens
You don't have to teach it
If it's anything like VWs DSG, start your engine braking early.
I was surprised how little it slowed down, and needed to adjust as it didn't seem to like manual downshifts.

The run is being sponsored by Shell, so no funny business.  Coasting down off-throttle, the DCT seems to "drag" down to 60 mph, then starts coasting down more normally.

Engine braking gets reduced as you slow down ?
It could be they build in a freewheeling condition so it coasts below 60 ?
BMW's 8speed ZF box has it - at least in their ActiveHybrid 7 series.
Hypermiling is going mainstream.
Well, sort of

I don't know if this is due to the tranny or the traction control.

I don't see how TC would have an effect on that, really.
