STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory. 411
Brake position - B
B can be selected at any time while driving. In the
B position the car brakes with the electric motor
when the accelerator pedal is released while the
hybrid battery is charging. This gives more oppor-
tunities for recharging the hybrid battery, since
charging also takes place without the driver using
the brake pedal.
B-position in the driver display.
From the B position it is possible to change gear
manually to lower gears. The driver display shows
which gear (1 - 8) is being used.
•
Press the gear selector backwards once to
change down to the next lower gear.
•
Press the gear selector backwards once
more to change down further.
To be able to change manually to a higher gear
requires that the car is equipped with steering
wheel paddles
*
.
•
Press the gear selector forwards to return to
the
D position.
The gearbox automatically shifts down if the
speed decreases to a level lower than appropri-
ate for the selected gear, in order to avoid jerking
and stalling.
Kick-down
When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the
way to the floor (beyond the position normally
regarded as full acceleration) a lower gear is
immediately engaged. This is known as kick-
down.
If the accelerator is released from the kick-down
position, the gearbox automatically changes up.
Kick-down is used when maximum acceleration
is needed, such as for overtaking.
Safety function
To prevent over-revving of the engine, the gear-
box control program has a protective downshift
inhibitor.
The gearbox does not permit downshifting/kick-
down which would result in an engine speed high
enough to damage the engine. Nothing happens
if the driver still tries to shift down in this way at
high engine speed – the original gear remains
engaged.
When kick-down is activated the car can change
one or more gears at a time depending on
engine speed. The car changes up when the
engine reaches its maximum speed in order to
prevent damage to the engine.
