Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If there is a loss of pressure or insufficient
reservoir pressure in the transmission/
clutch circuit, you can no longer shift gears.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not pull away, or stop the vehicle as soon
as possible, paying attention to road and
traffic conditions. Secure the vehicle against
rolling away, e.g. with the parking brake.
Have the compressed-air system repaired at
a qualified specialist workshop.
! Observe the following notes. You could
otherwise damage the transmission, the
engine or the clutch:
R
do not drive with an engine speed that is
too high or too low.
R
only engage reverse gear with the engine
at idling speed and the vehicle stationary.
R
when changing gear, make sure that the
engine speed does not enter the red over-
revving range in the rev counter.
R
release the gear lever when you have fin-
ished changing gear. Do not rest your
hand or arm on the gear lever.
R
if a warning tone sounds when downshift-
ing, the maximum permissible engine
speed has been exceeded. Shift to a
higher gear, not a lower gear. The power-
assisted gearshift is deactivated to pro-
tect the transmission synchronisation. As
a result, more force is required when
shifting gear.
The engine has delayed throttle response if:
R
the vehicle is stationary
R
the engine is running
R
the transmission is in neutral
In order to support a fuel-efficient driving style,
the on-board computer displays a gearshift
recommendation in the form of an arrow. Shift
up
Z
or down
¬
according to the gearshift
recommendation.
16-speed transmission
General notes
Gearshift pattern
The 16-speed transmission is a manually oper-
ated transmission. The transmission is equip-
ped with a double-H gearshift.
The additional gear reduction means that you
can select a total of 16 forward gears and 2
reverse gears.
When in neutral position, the gear lever is in
the gate between 3rd and 4th gear, and 5th
and 6th gear.
The shift ranges of the transmission are divi-
ded into:
R
the low shift range "L" with gears
1
to
4
and reverse gear
k
R
the high shift range "H" with gears
5
to
8
R
the splitter groups with the switch on the
front side of the gear lever
Gearshift options
You can shift gears:
R
in the selected low-range splitter group, e.g.
off-road driving
R
in the selected high-range splitter group,
e.g. on-road driving
R
between low-range and high-range splitter
groups, e.g. when the vehicle is laden
