3.8 Automatic transmission *
As an option, your motor home can be equipped with an au-
tomatictransmission(Comfort-Matic)whichhastwomethods
of operation: MANUAL/gearshift and AUTO(MATIC). Since
the clutch is engaged and released by means of an electro-
hydraulic unit that is controlled by the transmission‘s control
unit,theclutchpedalissuperuousand,therefore,ithasbeen
removed. Both the selected method of operation as well as the
gear you are driving in are shown on the multifunction display
panel.

Starting from the centre position, which corresponds to the
