| Automatic TransmissionAutomatic transmissions reduce work for the driver, helping him/her to concentrate on the traffic and the road conditions. The automatic transmission automatically adapts to the driving style adopted by the driver at any one time – from leisurely cruising to sporty performance – and also takes road conditions into account. The "keylock" and "shiftlock" functions provide additional safety.
"Keylock" prevents the ignition key from being removed unless the transmission selector lever is in position "P" (Park).
After the engine is started, the selector lever can only be moved out of positions "P" or "N" (Neutral) when the driver presses the brake pedal (shiftlock). This prevents any unintended movement of the vehicle when the engine is started. |
