Other transmission controls
* Paddle shifters (if equipped): Located on the steering wheel, they allow you to manually change gears without using the gear lever.
*Electronic gear selector (if equipped): Performs the same functions as a gear shift lever, but uses electrical signals instead of a mechanical connection.
*Differential Lock (if equipped): Locks the differential, which improves traction in off-road conditions.
Peculiarities
