The
gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any action on the par t of thedriver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear taking account of:

gear change requests are only carried out
i
f the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
pedal during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically so that the vehicle
picks up in the right gear.
Under full acceleration, the change up will not
take place unless the driver operates the gear lever (unless the engine is close to its maximum
speed).
