- Skip-shift: Automatically skips unnecessary gears when accelerating and/or requested by driver, aimed to help drivers reach cruising speed faster and more efficiently.
- Hill Hold: Prevents rollback on inclines by maintaining brake pressure during takeoff, offering greater control and confidence on slopes.*
- Autopark: Automatically engages the park lock if the driver exits the cab or shuts down the engine without selecting park, helping to prevent unintended vehicle movement.**
