Automatic gearbox (EAT6)

Six-speed automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation, enhanced by sport and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing.
Two driving modes are available:
- automatic operation for electronic control
of the gears by the gearbox, with a sport
programme for a more dynamic style of
driving and a snow programme to improve
driving when traction is poor,
- manual operation for sequential changing
of the gears by the driver.
