Driving off forward
NOTE: To protect the clutch the automated gearbox is equipped with a
drive-off protection. This protection prevents operation of the clutch and
gearbox at transmission oil temperatures below - 20°C.
Warming up the transmission oil can be speeded up by increasing the
engine's rpm.
NOTE: With every engine start the automated gearbox performs
preliminary checks. These checks can result in a delay in selecting the drive
off gear.
During these preliminary checks revving up the engine is not possible.
