Gear positions for automatic
gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, an appropriate
gear is selected automatically depending on
the need for speed and power.
Changing gear
The gear selector is the shift-by-wire-type
where shifting is performed electronically
instead of mechanically. This means simpler
shifting and more distinct gear positions.
Overview of gear lever and gear positions.
Change gear position by pressing the spring-
loaded gear selector forwards or backwards,
or sideways for manual shifting.
