Automatic Transmission
‘Kick-down’ in manual CommandShift
mode:
ELECTRONICALLY SELECTED
AUTOMATIC MODES
When in manual CommandShift mode,
kick-down overrides the manual gear selection,
to provide increased acceleration. The
characteristics of kick-down operation differs
according to the gear range selected (HIGH or
LOW).
The transmission control system electronically
selects different gear change modes, listed
below, designed to suit a variety of driving
conditions.
NOTE: The electronic modes described below
cannot be selected by the driver and will not
operate if ‘Sport’ mode is selected.
In HIGH range, with manual mode selected,
kick-down will cause a downshift of at least two
gears (‘5’ to ‘3’, for example). When in LOW
range, the downshift will only be one gear (‘5’ to
Hill ascent, trailer and high altitude mode
A suitable gear change pattern is selected
which retains lower gears for longer, to counter
momentum loss caused by more frequent gear
changing, which can occur when climbing hills
or when towing a trailer or caravan. This gear
change pattern is also selected at high altitudes
to combat reduced engine torque.
‘4’,
for example).
Parking
After bringing the vehicle to a stop, ALWAYS
apply the parking brake and select ‘P’, before
releasing the foot brake and switching off the
engine. The starter key can only be removed if
‘P’ is selected.
Hill descent mode
When in manual CommandShift mode, with the
optimum gear for engine braking selected, the
selector lever can then be moved across to the
‘D’ position. The transmission will retain the
previously selected ‘manual’ gear until the
descent is completed, then the transmission
will automatically change to ‘D’.
High coolant temperature mode
In high ambient temperatures during extreme
load conditions, the transmission will select a
gear change pattern designed to aid the cooling
process, whilst enabling the gearbox to
continue performing normally.
