Gearbox
The gearbox is part of the car's powertrain
(power transmission) between engine and
drive wheels. The function of the gearbox is
to change the gear ratio depending on speed
and power requirements.
5 The car has an eight-speed automatic gear-
.
box. The number of gear changes means that
the engine's torque and power range can be
used effectively.
Two of the gears are overdrive gears that save
fuel when driving at constant engine speed.
Both the gear lever and the shift paddles can
be used to shift up or down manually. The
driver display shows the selected gear posi-
tion.
