It also features Shimano's Crash Protection Mode - this prevents shifting after a crash to make sure the rear derailleur is damaged any further. To restore shifting functionality have a look at the FAQ: I had a small crash and my rear derailleur stopped working.

When paired with 6870 or newer components and the BT-DN110 battery, this derailleur supports synchronized shift.
