- Transmission 722.6
- with CODE (428) Steering wheel shift buttons


With the selector lever and the transmission mode switch (S16/5) it is possible to adapt the automatic sequence of the shift to particular operating conditions.

The shift range can in fact be changed in the forward gears while driving, however the electronic transmission control (ETC) prevents a shift at an unacceptably high engine speed.

The comfort program "C" provides a greater overall ratio and thus a lower drive torque when driving off forward or backwards. This allow the vehicle to move off more gently. In addition, the gears are not driven to maximum revs.

In the manual shift program "M" all forward gear can be selected using the selector lever or the left steering wheel gear shifter (S110/2) and right steering wheel gear shifter (S111/2) (up to 31.5.06) or the steering wheel gear shifter MINUS (S110/1) and steering wheel gear shifter PLUS (S111/1) (as of 1.6.06).

Gear shifts which would result in an impermissible high or low engine speeds are not executed.
