a level suitable for the selected gear, in order
to avoid jerking and stalling.
To return to automatic driving mode:
•
Move the lever to the side to the end posi-
tion at D.
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 accelera-
tion is needed, such as for overtaking.
Safety function
To prevent overrevving the engine, the gearbox
control program has a protective downshift
inhibitor which prevents the kick-down func-
tion.
Geartronic 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.
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
G020237
The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other positions
are locked with a latch that is released with the
inhibitor button on the gear selector.
With the inhibitor button depressed the lever
can be moved forwards or backwards between
P, R, N and D.
Automatic gear selector inhibitor
Cars with an automatic gearbox have special
safety systems:
Keylock
To remove the remote control key, the gear
selector must be in the P position. The key is
locked in all other positions.
Parking position (P)
Stationary car with engine running:
– Hold your foot on the brake pedal when
moving the gear selector to another posi-
tion.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock Parking
position (P position)
To be able to move the gear selector from the
P position to other gear positions, the remote
control key must be in position II and the brake
pedal must be depressed.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N position)
If the gear selector is in the N position and the
car has been stationary for at least three sec-
onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run-
ning) then the gear selector is locked in the N
position.
To be able to move the gear selector from the
N position to another gear position, the brake
pedal must be depressed and the remote con-
trol key must be in position II.
