In the following situations, the SMG in
the sequential mode anticipates your
intentions:
>
The SMG performs up-shifts and
down-shifts only at a suitable engine
or road speed; for example, it will not
shift down if the resulting engine
speed would be too high
>
When you brake the car to a standstill
first gear is selected automatically so
that all you have to do is press down
gently on the accelerator pedal to pull
away after being stopped by a traffic
light, for example
>
When the car's speed diminishes,
without any action on your part the
transmission will shift down automati-
cally just before each gear's respec-
tive minimum speed is reached
>
Under acceleration, the transmission
gear's respective minimum automati-
cally shifts up through the gears as
each rpm limit is reached.
