Correct. If it is working correctly, then you want to get in the habit of using the correct gear. In theory, you want to start in low gear then kick back into high. Then when you brake, it should automatically shift back to low so you are ready for the next start. Of course if you have to brake when in low gear it will switch you into high so when you start out again you may want to switch back to low.
