To change mode at any time, move the slide switch in the desired direction. This allows the driver to respond to a wide range of driving conditions, such as blind corners, tight curves, and steep hills.
Important: Whatever the mode, it is always possible to shift manually by moving the lever up or down as needed.
In either mode, the gear indicator displays the current gear. See Fig..
Note: The gear indicator displays the current gear. In this example, it displays first gear.
