programmes
z By means of delayed gear changing
(higher engine speeds) following a cold
start, the operating temperature
programme in automatic mode quickly
and automatically brings the catalytic
converter to the temperature required
for optimum pollutant reduction.
z Adaptive programmes automatically
adapt gear shifting in automatic mode
to suit the driving conditions, such as if
the vehicle is towing a caravan/trailer,
has a high payload, or is being driven on
inclines.
