6-speed electronic gear control gearbox
Six-speed electronic gear control 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,
- manual mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver.
In automated mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering
mounted control paddles when required, when
overtaking, for example.
This gearbox provides you with the benefit of
additional functions:
-
hill start assist,
- the creep function (movement of the
vehicle on releasing the brake pedal) in
automated mode or reverse.
