The automatic transmission shifts to the next lower gear, depending on the gear currently engaged. The shift range is also restricted.
The selected shift range is shown in the instrument cluster display. The automatic transmission shifts only as far as the selected gear.
The automatic transmission will change to a shift range that allows easy acceleration and deceleration. To do this, the automatic transmission shifts down one or more gears and restricts the shift range.
The selected shift range is shown in the instrument cluster display. The automatic transmission shifts only as far as the selected gear.
The automatic transmission does not shift down if you pull the steering wheel gearshift paddle whilst travelling at too high a speed.
If the maximum engine speed for the restricted shift range is reached and you continue to depress the accelerator pedal, the automatic transmission will shift up automatically. This protects against engine overrev.
The automatic transmission shifts to the next gear up, depending on the gear currently engaged. This de-restricts the shift range at the same time.
The selected shift range is shown in the instrument cluster display. The automatic transmission shifts only as far as the selected gear.
The automatic transmission shifts up one or more gears depending on the gear currently engaged. Simultaneously, the shift range restriction is deactivated and the transmission position appears in the instrument cluster display .
