or
Pull the left-hand steering wheel

vehicle to accelerate or pull away again.

transmission does not shift to a lower gear
if this would result in the maximum engine
speed being exceeded.

selector lever to the left or pull and hold the
left-hand steering wheel paddle shifter until
the transmission shifts to the optimal gear
