| The Telligent® gearshift, standard in most Actros models, meets all the requirements placed on today’s gearshift systems. The ergonomic positioning of the shift lever on a fold-up console on the driver’s seat allows effortless gear changes in any situation. This relieves the stress on drivers and enables them to concentrate on what’s happening on the road. To change up or down a gear, all the driver has to do is nudge the lever forwards or backwards, then press the clutch pedal. The gear which has been selected and – after pressing the clutch – engaged is then displayed in the instrument cluster. And the rocker switch allows the driver to split the gears, e.g. to shift just half a gear up or down.
The optional Telligent® automated gearshift or Mercedes PowerShift make changing gear even easier: the gear is automatically selected without the driver having to use the clutch – with machine-like precision and consistency. This reduces wear on the transmission and can help save fuel too. |
