Winter switch

Winter switch



In order to facilitate starting if the road is slippery, the transmission is fitted with a winter starting program. The transmission is then automatically prevented from engaging first and second gears and the car is started in third gear.

A spring-loaded switch in the selector lever's console makes it possible to select the WINTER gear shifting program.

Activation of the switch gives 0 V (ground) on pin 21 of the TCM.

The WINTER indicator lamp in the main instrument comes on at the same time as WINTER is selected.

WINTER can be selected in gear D with the result that SPORT cannot be selected. WINTER is disconnected if


• the switch is depressed,

• the ignition is switched on or off,

• The kick-down contact is activated for >2 seconds,

• the speed is >80 km/h,

• the fluid temperature is >150°C, or

• limp-home occurs.
