Try turning off Traction control (one press). It seems sometimes the TC will activate pretty easily in manual mode. You might try hitting sport mode and moving the shift into S1 and floor it. Somehow the software logic in the tranny is a bit more forgiving this way. Manual mode gives a bit more abrupt shifts and the TC light may not light up but it's activating.
FWIW, I have it more between 2 and 3 with my winter tires on.
