: the automatic transmission must be shifted manually at all times. The automatic transmission does not shift up automatically even when the maximum engine speed is reached
: the vehicle exhibits sporty handling characteristics.
the automatic transmission shifts up at a later point and shifts down earlier. These automatic transmission shift timing points may increase fuel consumption.
: the vehicle delivers comfortable, economical handling characteristics.
optimal fuel consumption resulting from the automatic transmission shifting up sooner.
increased sensitivity. This improves driving stability on slippery road surfaces, for example.
the automatic transmission shifts up sooner. The vehicle thus maintains lower engine speeds.
: the vehicle exhibits particularly economical handling characteristics.
the maximum available engine torque is reduced.
optimal fuel consumption resulting from the automatic transmission shifting down significantly later and up significantly sooner, even at full-load operation.
No shift point adjustment for adapting to individual, dynamic driving styles.
In kickdown, the automatic transmission automatically shifts to drive program
. increased sensitivity. This improves driving stability on slippery road surfaces, for example.
(vehicles with AIRMATIC): the vehicle is raised when driving slowly giving it more ground clearance.
the vehicle delivers comfortable, economical handling characteristics.
increased sensitivity. This improves driving stability on slippery surfaces, for example.
the vehicle changes to drive program
