Driving and Operating
Driver Influenced Gear Selection:
.
Aggressive driving will influence both the
upshift and downshift points in all modes.
.
Criteria which have influence are: driving
mode, accelerator, brakes, lateral and
longitudinal loading.
.
Changes in gear selection behaviour due
to aggressive driving can include:
‐
Downshifting early with higher rpm's
during aggressive braking (i.e. entering
a corner)
‐
Altering upshifts while experiencing
lateral acceleration
‐
Not upshifting when the accelerator is
released to avoid unnecessary shifts if
the accelerator is re-applied
‐
Recognising sporty driving and
anticipate upcoming corners with the
appropriate gear selection entering and
exiting
.
Driver Modes
‐
Driver influenced changes are effective
in all driving modes, however the
aggressiveness of the transmission
response will increase between Tour,
Sport, and Track Modes respectively.
Active Fuel Management (engine cylinder
shuts off)
.
Normal with Dual Clutch Transmission:
The engine uses 8-cylinder mode when
accelerating, but changes to 4-cylinder
mode when coasting.
Active Fuel Management is a preset of
Powertrain and cannot be modified or
changed independently.
