Transmission Shift Buttons: Notes

The transmission shift buttons are integrated in the steering wheel. For reasons of convenience (changing gear one-handed) the switches are duplicated on each side.

"Low" program: Operating the two buttons on the face of the steering wheel signals the EGS (TCM) to perform a down-shift.

Before the EGS (TCM) will respond to the buttons the "Low" program must be activated using the "L" button in the right-hand MFL button group.

The shift buttons are Hall-effect sensors.
