The gear change requests are only carried out
if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
pedal during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically so that the vehicle
picks up in the right gear.
Under full acceleration, the change up will
not take place unless the driver operates the
gear lever or steering mounted control paddle
(unless the engine is close to its maximum
speed).

immobilised with your foot on the brake.
