Transmission
The kickdown function
Kickdown can be used when maximum acceleration is needed, e.g. when passing.
Transmission
The transmission is part of the vehicle's driveline (power transmission) between the engine and the drive wheels. The function of the transmission is to change gears depending on speed and power needs.
Automatic transmission
In vehicles with an automatic transmission, the system selects the gear so that driving will be as energy-efficient as possible. The transmission also has a manual mode.
Gear selector positions
An appropriate gear is selected automatically depending on the need for speed and power.
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
All-wheel drive (AWD), also called four-wheel drive, means that power is distributed to all four wheels, which improves traction.
Using the steering wheel paddles to shift
The steering wheel paddles are a supplement to the gear selector and make it possible to shift manually without removing your hands from the steering wheel. The function is available in position D or B.
Shiftlock
The automatic transmission's shiftlock function helps prevent inadvertently moving the gear selector between different positions.
