Electronic gearbox
Six-speed electronically controlled gearbox
which offers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
- automated mode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox, without any
action on the part of the driver
- manual mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver using the gear selector or the
steering mounted paddles.
In automated mode, you can temporarily take
over control of gear changing.
