16-speed transmission
General notes
Gearshift pattern
The 16-speed transmission is a manually
operated
gearbox. The transmission is equip-
ped with a double-H gearshift.
The additional gear reduction means that you
can select a total of 16 forward gears and 2
reverse gears.
When in neutral position, the gear lever is in
the gate between the 3rd and 4th gear and
the 5th and 6th gear.
The shift ranges of the transmission are divi-
ded into:
R
the low shift range "L" with gears 1 to 4
and reverse gear k
R
the high shift range "H" with gears 5 to 8
R
the splitter groups with the switch on the
front side of the gear lever

R

R

e.g. on-road driving
R

When driving in the road gear or when driv-
ing a vehicle without a transfer case, main-
tain a vehicle speed of less than approx-
imately 20 km/h when changing gear.
If you change from the high-range group to
the low-range group at high speed, the
transmission may be damaged.
