QUICKSHIFT GEARBOX (continued)
Changing mode
The mode (automatic/semi-automatic)
may be changed at any time by
pushing the lever to the left. The
mode is changed without changing
gear.
Semi-automatic mode operation
(manual) using the selector
lever
You can initiate gear changes using
the selector lever.
To move up through the gears
simply push the selector lever
forwards without necessarily
releasing the accelerator.
Moving down through the gears
only requires the selector lever to be
moved backwards and does not
necessarily require the accelerator
pedal to be released.
The system does not accept
downshifts which would generate a
high engine speed or upshifts which
would cause low engine speed.
By pushing the lever forwards twice
you can move up two gears at a time
(except at low speeds). By pushing
the lever backwards twice you can
move down two gears at a time
(unless overrevving).
When decelerating with the foot off
the pedal, the gears will
automatically drop to the low speed
limit to avoid stalling. First gear
automatically passes below a
certain speed limit. It is possible to
keep the vehicle stationary (stop,
red light, etc.) by depressing the
brake pedal without shifting to
neutral N.
The vehicle will move off again:
- either slowly, if you release the
brake without accelerating (e.g.
when in a traffic jam),
- or quickly, if you release the brake
and accelerate.
Note: neutral may only be selected
when the vehicle is being driven or
is stationary when the brake pedal
is depressed (if you forget, warning
light 4 will light up).
Push the gear lever to the right to
select neutral.
If the engine speed is too high or too
low, the system will choose the
optimum gear.
