In automatic mode, “Auto” appears
below gear indicator (1) with the
“Basic” shift program selected. In
the “Dynamic” shift program, “Adyn”
will be displayed instead.
Note:
In automatic mode, it is possible to toggle
between the “Basic” and “Dynamic” shift
programs by briefly pressing button (4).
Note:
For journeys on arduous terrain, it is ad-
visable to select manual mode in order to
avoid undesired upshifting, for example,
and therefore interruptions in tractive
power.
+++ Selecting transmission neutral
po++
Danger.
If you were to select the transmission
neutral position while the bus were in mo-
tion, you would lose tractive power or the
braking effect of the engine. It may not
then be possible to bring the bus to a
halt in good time and you could thereby
cause an accident. For this reason, you
should never select the transmission neut-
ral position while the bus is in motion.
