Select-shift mode
The Select-Shift mode can only be activated if the selector lever is in the S position. Individual gears can be engaged by operating the Select-Shift switch which is located on the side of the selector lever.
NOTE:
Manual gearshifting can only be performed if the engine speeds do not exceed or fall below predetermined values.
If the vehicle speed decreases so that the engine speed falls below the lower limit, the TCM causes the transmission to shift to a lower gear.
When shifting down, the TCM checks whether the upper engine speed limit is exceeded. If the speed limit is exceeded, the TCM prevents the gearshift.
If an engine speed of 6, 500 rpm is exceeded under acceleration then the system automatically shifts up to the next higher gear.
