Transmission

L
To select Sport mode, press the switch. A
red light within the switch is illuminated to
indicate that Sport mode has been
selected.
To cancel Sport mode, press the switch
again.
Note: Both sides of the J-gate can be
used irrespective of the transmission
mode, e.g. with S selected the
transmission can be operated in full
automatic or by manual selection.
In addition to the switched transmission
modes (N and S), the transmission control
module will select shift patterns to suit
specific conditions.
Cruise control – When cruise control is
operating at set speed, the transmission
selects a shift pattern to suit cruise
control operation.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) – When
DSC is switched ON and the system is
activated, the transmission selects a shift
pattern to suit traction control conditions.
Gradients – When the vehicle is being
driven on roads with uphill gradients, the
transmission adapts the shift pattern to
make better use of engine power and aid
engine cooling.
Under the conditions described above,
the relevant transmission mode will
override the N or S modes selected by the
driver. When such conditions no longer
exist, e.g. Cruise Control switched OFF,
the transmission will revert to the shift
pattern previously selected by the driver,
i.e. N or S.

a fill-for-life unit, if your vehicle is used
for a race event or test track day, then
following the event the final drive unit
lubricant should be changed. Contact
