Automatic Transmission
106
MODE SWITCH
The automatic gearbox has three driver-selectable operating
modes, Normal (economy), Sport and Snow. When the
starter switch is turned on, the transmission automatically
selects the Normal (economy) mode.
Normal (economy) mode
Normal mode is suitable for all day to day driving and
optimises fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. To
return to Normal mode after selecting either of the other
modes, push the switch towards the front of the car.
Sport mode
Operating tip: Select sport mode
when increased engine
acceleration is required, or when
negotiating long inclines, but
note that driving in sport mode
will increase fuel consumption.
Pull the switch towards the rear of the car to select (‘S’
appears in the trip recorder display). With Sport mode
selected, the gearbox is more responsive to accelerator pedal
movement - downshifts occur earlier and upshifts are delayed
to make optimum use of the engine's power while
accelerating.
Snow mode
Press down on the centre of the switch to select (a
snowflake symbol appears in the trip recorder display).
Select Snow mode when moving from rest on loose or
slippery surfaces (the car will move off in second gear and
subsequently upshift at lower speeds, thereby reducing the
possibility of wheel spin).
