Driving
Downshift (Kickdown)
(Automated mode only)
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed beyond its resistance
point the transmission will
down-shift into a lower gear. This
will make full use of the engine
torque when overtaking or driving
up steep gradients.
When the engine speed approaches
its upper limit the transmission will
shift into a higher gear.

Stopping
When stopping or waiting
on a gradient always apply
the handbrake. To prevent
overheating of the clutch do not
increase the engine revolutions.
When the selector is in the D
position and the vehicle is at
standstill, 1st gear will be engaged
automatically.
Before exiting the vehicle with the
engine still running place the
selector in N and apply the
handbrake.
Note: If the selector is moved to a
gear, the engine is running and the
driver's door is open, and no brake
pedal pressed, a warning signal will
sound and the gear display will
flash.
In addition, this message will
appear in the display of the
Message Centre and the display
warning light illuminates amber.
