Program mode selector switch
The transmission is provided with a selector switch (1)
for Standard “S” and Winter/ Wet (snow and ice) “W”
program modes.
The program mode currently selected is indicated in the
gear range indicator display.
S Standard mode
Press switch. “S” is displayed in the gear range
indicator display, see page 254. Use this mode for
all regular driving.
The vehicle starts out in 1st gear.
Accelerator Operation:
Fast on = depressing the accelerator pedal quickly
(not into kickdown position) while driving
continuously, rather than depressing the
accelerator pedal in the usual manner, will cause
the automatic transmission to shift down into a
lower gear. This gear shifting process is
dependent on the current vehicle speed.
Fast off = there will be no upshift when releasing
the accelerator pedal quickly, e.g. using the
engine’s braking power during performance
driving.
