Four-speed automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation, enhanced by sport and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing.
There are therefore four driving modes:
-
automatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
- sport programme for a more dynamic style
of driving,
- snow programme to improve driving when
traction is poor,
- manual operation for sequential changing
of the gears by the driver.
