Six-speed automatic transmission with Active
Select function
A six-speed automatic transmission is
available on 1.6i 16v VVT (115PS) and 2.0CDTi
16v (165PS) models. On the road, a wide
selection of shift patterns is adapted to the
style and habits of the driver, anticipating
when maximum acceleration or maximum
efciency is required. The electronic control
will also adapt to the prevailing road
conditions, reducing gear shifting when
climbing or descending and using engine
braking assistance during down changes.
The ActiveSelect
®
manual mode allows
the gear lever to be used like a sequential
manual gearbox – you simply push the lever
forward or back to change up or down the
gears. The driver also benets from a ‘neutral’
gear disengagement at idle, which reduces
vibration and contributes to improved fuel
consumption.
