When towing is necessary, the vehicle towing eyes
should be used. The rope must be securely
fastened to the towing eyes and must also be
attached to the other vehicle such that the rope will
not foul the bodywork.

towed, the gear selector must be in position

transmission at a speed greater than 30 mph (50

distance, the drive wheels must be lifted clear off
the ground.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The transmission control unit can be diagnosed
with WDS via the DLC.
Gearshift strategies
Gearshift control
I A I Accelerator pedal position I
I B I vehicle speed 1
The current ratio is selected by the transmission
control unit either in accordance with the
requirements for low fuel consumption or in order
to meet the required driving performance.
The gearshift timing is selected in accordance with
a gearshift map which is programmed into the
control unit as a function of the accelerator pedal
position and the vehicle speed.
For kick-down (accelerator pedal pressed down at
least
95 %) the next lowest gear is selected, as
long as the engine speed allows it. All gearshift
timings are set by the transmission control unit to
the upper shift characteristic. The driver can feel the
kickdown point
in the
accelerator pedal as a slight increase in resistance
to the operation of the pedal.
This is influenced by the following variables:
accelerator pedal position and actuation,
vehicle speed,
brake pedal position,
selector lever position.
The following are actuated:
SSA shift solenoid valve,
SSB shift solenoid valve.
Hill climb mode
When the vehicle is in hill climb mode or towing a
trailer, the transmission control delays gearshifts
to prevent frequent shifting back and forth between
the gears.
