and downhill gradients
as well as
hauling
a

Position

Maximum permissible downshift speeds:
from
2
to
1
= 2800
rpm
or 35
mph.
This position is
provided
for
slow driving
or
hauling a trailer on extremely steep uphill
and
downhill gradients.

Active Downshift
(Brief lnfluence)
Rapid
operation
of
the accelerator pedal
(from
approx.
34 mph on) causes immediate
selec-
tion
of the
most
sporty shift
curve
family,
in
other words the
highest possible shift
points.
The transmission is downshifted accordingly.
Function stopped: accelerator pedal
released
by
about 25
%.
Kickdown
The
accelerator
pedal must be
operated
be-
yond the kickdown to have optimal
accelera-
tion
for
passing. The
transmission
is
then
shifted back into the
next lower gear
depend-
ing on the accelerator lever position and
road
speed.
When
the
transmission
enters
this
mode
higher
RPM upshifts
are included.
Kickdown shift speeds remain activated
until
the
accelerator pedal
is
released
to 50
%
of
the
full throttle position.
