The gearbox selects the gear that offers
optimum per formance, taking account of the
ambient temperature, the profile of the road,
the load on the vehicle and the style of driving.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator fully down
(kick-down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear selected until
the maximum engine speed is reached.

engine speed permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
