How Does the Automatic Gearbox of the Mercedes Actros Work?

Model: Mercedes Mercedes Various
Part: Transmission

The automatic gearbox of the Mercedes Actros is operated using the controls located on the lever to the right of the steering wheel: here you will find a knob with an arrow that allows you to select between D, N, and R. When the knob points to N, it means the vehicle is in neutral; thus, with D you can proceed with driving, while with R you can engage reverse. Additionally, with the A/M button present on the same lever, you can choose the driving mode according to your needs: for example, you can select between economy mode, dynamic power, etc.
