Gears 4, 3, or L can be used if you are driving in a mountainous area, towing a trailer or to increase
engine braking effect.
The transmission has a built-in limiter designed to help prevent excessive engine speeds (high rpm)
when gears 4, 3 or L are selected.
Automatic transmission -adaptive system
The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive control system that constantly monitors the way
in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The
system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.
