i know u have to put it in S mode and shift up and down but at what rpm do i switch gears?

for example like at 2000 rpm switch to 2nd gear, etc etc

Hosestly, it doesn't matter much and is more of a personal preference. The S mode is not a true manual mode. The transmission ECU will not allow you to shift into what it would consider the "wrong" gear. It will actually beep at you if you try to shift into a lower gear (1st or 2nd) if the vehicle speed is too high. It also will not let you over rev the RPM when going full throttle.
