Electronic driving programmes
● Following a cold start, the operating temperature
programme increases engine
speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
● The automatic neutral shift function automatically shifts to
idling when the vehicle is stopped
with a forward gear engaged and the brake pedal is pressed.
● Special programmes automatically adapt the shifting
points when driving up inclines or
down hills.Automatic transmission
adaptation feature
This feature adapts transmission
operation during constant driving or
gear shifting. It increases durability
and keeps best shift quality over the
life cycle. You may perceive shifting
at initial mileage as uncomfortable,
but this is normal. Shift quality will be
improved gradually by constant
driving at each gear and gear shifting.
Kickdown
Pressing down the accelerator pedal
beyond the kickdown detent will lead
to maximum acceleration
independent of selected driving
mode. The transmission shifts to a
lower gear depending on engine
speed.
