AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (continued)
2.40
How to drive as economically as
possible
Leave the selector in position D on
the open road, depress the
accelerator pedal slightly to ensure
automatic gear changes at
comparatively low engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal
briskly and fully (so that it goes
beyond the kickdown point).
This will enable you to change
down to the optimum gear within
the engine range.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.:
engine protection, operation of the
Electronic stability program: ESP)
the automated system may change
the gear automatically.
Likewise, to prevent ‘incorrect
manoeuvres’, a gear change may be
refused by the automatic system: in
this case the gear display flashes for
a few seconds as a warning.
Driving in manual mode
With the lever in position D, shift
the lever to the left-hand side.
Shifting lever 1 repeatedly allows
you to change gears manually:
- to move down through the gears,
pull the lever backwards,
- to move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear ratio engaged appears on
the instrument panel.
