The transmission is locked in the lowest gear when the selector is in this position. The indicator lamp
in the instrument panel lights up when this mode is selected. If you are driving above 31 mph (50 km/h)
when position 1 is selected, the transmission will automatically first shift to intermediate gear 2 until the
speed has dropped to under 31 mph (50 km/h).
NOTE:
· Gears 3, 2, or 1 can be used if you are driving in a mountainous area, towing a trailer or to increase
engine braking capacity.
· The transmission has a built-in function which is designed to help prevent excessive engine speeds
(high rpm) when gears 3, 2 or 1 are selected.
Automatic transmission - adaptive system
The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive guidance system that constantly monitors the
way in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance.
The system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.
