Automatic Transmission
108
•
Cold start mode
In very cold conditions the automatic transmission will
stay in the lower gears for longer, to help the engine reach
its normal operating temperature more quickly. This will
help to improve overall fuel economy and driveability, and
reduce emissions.
•
High coolant temperature mode
In high ambient temperatures during extreme load
conditions, it is possible for the engine and the gearbox to
overheat. At a certain temperature, the transmission will
select a gear change pattern designed to aid the cooling
process, whilst enabling the gearbox to continue
performing normally in high temperatures.
•
Smooth change mode
Engine torque is reduced during gear changes, creating a
much smoother ride.
•
Automatic neutral mode (diesel models only)
To improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, the
transmission automatically selects neutral from a drive gear
if the vehicle is stationary and the brake is applied. The
drive gear will automatically reselect when the brake is
released.
