Driving Controls
Seamless Shift Gearbox
2.21
When the vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10
km/h) or the vehicle is stationary with a gear
selected, select a downshift and hold the
paddle to select neutral.
Neutral can be selected at any vehicle speed
by pressing the
N button. Pressing the D
button or initiating a shift by operating the
gearshift paddles will then select the
appropriate gear for the vehicle speed.
Pre-Cog
The gearbox will anticipate the next gear
change and pre-select the required gear to
ensure fast and seamless gear change.
When the vehicle is under acceleration, the
gearbox will automatically pre-select the
next highest gear. If a downshift is required
immediately following hard acceleration,
lightly pull and hold the downshift paddle to
the Pre-Cog position to pre-select the next
lowest gear. When ready, fully pull the
paddle for an almost instantaneous
downshift.
To pre-select an upshift during deceleration,
lightly pull and hold the upshift paddle to the
Pre-Cog position to pre-select the next
highest gear. When ready, fully pull the
paddle for an almost instantaneous upshift
instead of the automatically pre-selected
downshift.
