select the gear range suited for optimal
acceleration and deceleration. This will
involve shifting down one or more
gears.

system-controlled automatic gearshifting

gears by manually upshifting or downshift-
ing using the steering wheel gearshift
paddles (୴ page 178) or the gear selector
lever.

gine has reached its rpm limit, the transmission
