Is there any particular reason you believe an Internet poster over the
Owner's manual? It simply amazes me regarding the number of posts made
(not just here but other car boards I am on) with questions that can
be answered simply by looking in the Owner's manual. Or by people
second-guessing the Owner's manual.

Here, I will tilt the balance for you: it's okay to shift it manually!

Don't confuse your automatic transmission with an 'automated manual'
transmission. Yours is an automatic that you can shift manually, if
you desire. An 'automated manual' - such as that found in Audis,
Ferraris, BMWs - is a true manual transmission with automated clutch
operation that can be asked to shift automatically. They are 2 totally
different animals.
