Driving p p rogrammes
The gearbox management is fitted with
several driving programmes. According to
the driving style or to the momentary situ-
ation, an economy, low-consumption, or
a more "sporty" programme will be
selected.
The programme is selected automati-
cally depending on the movement of the
accelerator pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is moved slowly,
or at a normal rate, the gearbox will shift
into a higher gear earlier, and down into a
lower gear later to reduce f f uel c c onsump-
tion.
A more "sporty" programme is selected
when the accelerator pedal moves fast.
The pedal does not have to be depressed to
the point of kick-down (see page 2.79). In
this mode, the gearbox will shift up later to
make full use of the engine power reserves.
