Shift to a lower gear
If a higher gear is selected at a speed that
is too slow or a lower gear is selected at a
speed that is too high, the gear will not be
changed. This prevents the revs from being
too low or too high.
If the engine revs are too low the
transmission automatically shifts to a lower
gear, but not unless a certain speed has
been reached.
No automatic shifting to a higher gear
takes place at high engine revs.
For safety reasons, kickdown is also
available in manual mode – see page 192.
The selected gear is displayed in the
transmission display – see page 189.
