Drive
The gearbox always selects the gear best adapted to the following
parameters:
- style of driving,
- route prole,
- vehicle load.
In this way the gearbox operates in autoadaptive mode, without the need for
your intervention.
For certain manoeuvres (for example overtaking), it is possible to obtain
maximum acceleration by pressing hard down on the accelerator pedal, which
may trigger automatic changedown to a lower gear.
Note
During braking, the gearbox may kick down automatically in order to offer an
effective engine brake.
If you rapidly lift your foot off the accelerator, the gearbox will guard your safety
by not changing up again.
