Your driving style influences the transmis-
sion’s shifting behavior:
If vehicle acceleration worsens or the
transmission no longer shifts, the trans-
mission is most likely operating in limp
home (emergency operation) mode. In this
mode only 2nd gear and reverse gear can
be activated.

Earlier upshifting
Later upshifting
