Yes, that is correct... It won't go into first for you.

It goes to 2nd when you stop. You can still paddle down to 1st if you want, or even paddle up to 3rd. (Not sure why someone would want to start out in third gear, but it's an option.)

The above responses are correct. However, if you've not used the paddles since you put the tranny in "S", it will downshift to 1st when you come to a complete stop. Same when the tranny is in "D."

Starting off from a stop in a higher gear may help you keep from loosing traction in slick road conditions.
