The gears can be selected in two ways: to overrev the engine.
The driver specifies the required gear by means of gear
selection using the "Driver selection" program. There are modes for gear control II (GS II):

3 Partial functions of gear control II (GS II)
The electronic systems for the partial functions at the
transmission end and vehicle end are separated from each
other. Information is exchanged between the drive control
(FR) and gear control (GS) in the form of
CAN messages.

4 CAN networking of gear control II (GS II)
The information between the control units which provide
relevant information for gear control II (GS II) is exchanged in
the form of CAN messages via the CAN data bus system.
In addition, the back-up mode K-line (KErs) is also available
when the backup shift is activated.
