Realised how bad my Actros is

One of the more entertaining tricks of my 66 plate Actros is the full-on tantrum it occasionally throws when it can’t decide what gear to give me on a roundabout. It jumps around various gears between 5th and 9th for a bit, then decides it’s had enough, drops it into neutral and whacks the revs up full. It usually then insinuates I’m to blame by flashing up on the dash ‘revs too high. Apply brake’, which obviously isn’t what you really want to do halfway round a roundabout. Luckily I’ve discovered selecting neutral for a second works too, so I can at least get going again without grinding to a complete halt.

Out of the 4 Actros’ we’ve got I seem to be the only lucky one to get this feature.
