Hydraulic emergency program

In the event of failure of an electrical component, the transmission can switch into the hydraulic emergency program. In this case, all the solenoid valves are switched off and the transmission shifts, if the 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear is engaged, permanently into 3rd gear.

If the 4th, 5th or 6th gear is engaged in the event of failure of the electrical equipment, the transmission shifts permanently into 5th gear.

When the transmission is operating in the emergency program, 5th gear is engaged and the ignition is switched of and on again, the transmission shifts to 3rd gear.
