Automatic transmission with Steptronic*

P — Park

Select "Park" only when the vehicle is

completely stopped. The transmission

locks to prevent the rear wheels from

turning.

R — Reverse

Select "Reverse" only when the vehicle

is completely stopped.

N — Neutral

Select "Neutral" only if your journey is

interrupted for a longer period.

D — Drive

(automatic shift program)

This position is designed for driving

under all normal operating conditions.

All forward gears are available.

"Kickdown"

In the "Kickdown" mode, you achieve

maximum performance.

Depress the accelerator pedal past the

increased resistance point at the full-

throttle position.

M/S – manual mode and

Sport Program

When you change from D to M/S, the

Sport Program is activated. This is

indicated by "S" in the gear selection

display. The Sport Program is designed

for performance-oriented driving.

With the first brief touch, the automatic

transmission shifts from the Sport

Program to the manual mode. When

you move the selector lever forward in

the "+" direction, the transmission shifts

up. When the lever is moved back in the

"–" direction, the transmission shifts

down. M1 to M5 is indicated in the

transmission range display.

Upshifts or downshifts will only be

carried out by the ATC at appropriate

engine speeds and road speeds. If the

engine speed is too high, for instance,

367de704

the downshift will not be executed. The

gear selected will appear briefly in the

instrument cluster followed by the

current gear.

If you are driving in the manual

mode and wish to accelerate

rapidly – to pass another vehicle, for

example – shift down manually or with

the "Kickdown" function.<

You can only change from M/S to

selector lever positions "P," "R" and "N"

via the "D" position.

In the following situations, the Steptronic

"thinks" for you in the manual mode:

> In order to prevent engine over-

speeding, the transmission shifts

automatically to the next higher gear

shortly before the engine speed

cutoff point.

> At low speeds, the transmission

shifts down automatically – you do

not have to act.

> In the "Kickdown" mode, the trans-

mission shifts down to the lowest

possible gear based on the engine

speed.

> Depending on the situation – when

driving in adverse winter conditions,

for example – you may also start out

in 2nd or 3rd gear.
