both manual and automatic modes. In
both cases, the gear shifting patterns are
adapted automatically for carrying an
increased payload. Press button kg, Laden
programme will be selected and kg will
appear in the transmission display. Tecshift
will then select optimized gear shift
patterns.
The Laden programme is switched off by:
z pressing button kg again,
z turning off the ignition.

Kickdown

Accelerator pedal pressed past the
pressure point: below certain speeds, the
transmission shifts down into a lower gear.
Full engine power is available for
acceleration.
When the engine speed approaches its
upper limit, the transmission shifts to a
higher gear during kickdown even in
manual mode.
Without kickdown this automatic shift is
not affected in manual mode.

Engine braking assistance

Automatic mode
When driving downhill Tecshift does not
shift into the higher gears until a fairly high
engine speed has been reached. During
braking Tecshift shifts down to a lower
gear in good time.
Manual mode
To utilize the engine braking effect, select a
lower gear in good time when driving
downhill.
