Overview
The gearbox is an 8-speed, dual clutch seamless
shift gearbox that can be operated in automatic
or manual mode.
Automatic mode is selected unless the driver
chooses manual mode, see Manual/automatic
mode, page 2.20.
In automatic mode, the gearbox automatically
optimises the shift points to suit your style of
driving by selecting the most appropriate gear
depending on:
• Powertrain control mode.
See Powertrain control, page 2.24.
• Accelerator pedal position, page 2.19.
• Vehicle speed.
• Braking effort.
NOTE: Allow the engine and gearbox to
warm up before driving at high engine
speeds and high loads.
Avoid prolonged spinning of the rear
wheels when driving on slippery
surfaces as this could damage the
drivetrain.
Gear positions
Press one of the gear position buttons.
NOTE: The letter on each button will
illuminate red to identify if the vehicle
is in Drive, Neutral or Reverse.
Drive
All eight forward gears are available. Gear
changes will be automatic, unless manual
mode has been selected.
When drive is selected and the brakes are
released, the vehicle will begin to move slowly
without any throttle use, making it useful for
parking manoeuvres and for moving off in
queuing traffic.
Neutral
No gear is engaged. Releasing the brakes
will allow the vehicle to move freely, e.g.
for pushing or towing. For more information on
use of neutral for towing, see Towing for
recovery, page 6.48.
Neutral can be selected at any vehicle speed by
pressing the
N button. Pressing the D button or
initiating a shift by operating the gearshift
paddles will then select the appropriate gear for
the vehicle speed.
Reverse
In normal circumstances, select reverse
gear when the vehicle is stationary. When
carrying out parking manoeuvres that require
rapid changes from drive to reverse and back
again, it is possible to engage reverse or drive at
speeds up to 6 mph (10 km/h) whilst travelling
in the opposite direction.
