Electronic automatic gearbox
Gearshift levers on the steering
wheel (optional)
In sequential manual operating
conditions, upshifting and
downshifting can be controlled not
only with the gearshift lever A but also
with the two levers positioned behind
the steering wheel.
L-Lower gear engagement lever
- DOWN;
M- Upper gear engagement lever + UP.
Also in automatic operating mode,
when the gearshift lever A is in
position D (DRIVE), you can shift to a
different gear by moving one of the
levers. This action will temporarily
switch the system to sequential
manual operation.
If you then keep to a constant driving
style (low longitudinal and lateral
acceleration), the gearbox
automatically switches back to
automatic operation.
