Driving. Automated manual transmission

EASY mode (automatic mode)

~1min read

Select position E using the gear lever.

The engaged gear is shown on the instrument panel display.

The gearbox constantly selects the most suitable gear ratio.

If you press the accelerator pedal beyond the kickdown point, the automated manual gearbox selects a lower gear to allow stronger acceleration.

Temporary manual gear change override

You can temporarily take back manual control of gear changes using the steering wheel "+" and "-" controls; if the engine speed allows, the gear change request is accepted.

This function lets you anticipate certain situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or approaching a bend.

After a few moments without any action on the controls, the gearbox again manages the gear ratios automatically.
