If the RPMs jump and the clutch burns you are probably shifting into the wrong gear.
The shift knob doesn't tell you what gear you are in. It displays the shift pattern but that is all the information the knob can tell you.
It is quite possible to inadvertently go into 2nd instead of 6th if you don't manipulate the gear shifter correctly. If the display says 2nd and the RPMs jump up like you are in 2nd.....then I would say you are in 2nd.
I would make a much more conscious effort when going from 5th to 6th to make sure the lever is over to the right when you pull down. if you just pull straight down, you will probably end up in 4th. If you drift to the left you will end up in 2nd. Even a pro can miss a shift from time to time if they get sloppy.
Edit: I can't explain the one incident when you went 4th to 5th but the display indicated 2nd. Did the RPM jump then? The 5th to 6th with RPM jump and clutch burn was most likely a miss shift.
FWIW, I never look at the gear display on the dash. This is the first car I have owned that even had that function. I can tell what gear I'm in by RPM and speed. When you get good enough you will know what gear you are in without looking at the tach, speedo, or display. You can feel it.
