Automatic transmission*
For more information on driving with an 
automatic transmission, see “Automatic 
transmission*” (
Your vehicle’s transmission adapts its gear 
shifting process to your individual driving 
style by continually adjusting the shift 
points up or down. These shift point adjust-
ments are performed based on current 
operating and driving conditions.
If the operating conditions change, the 
automatic transmission reacts by 
adjusting its shift program.

During the brief warm-up, transmission 
upshifting is delayed. This allows the catalytic 
converter to heat up more quickly to operating 
temperature.
Warning!

Make sure absolutely no objects are ob-
structing the pedals’ range of movement. 
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all obsta-
cles. If there are any floormats or carpets in 
the footwell, make sure the pedals still have 
sufficient clearance.
During sudden driving or braking maneuvers 
the objects could get caught between be-
neath the pedals. You could then no longer 
brake or accelerate. This could lead to acci-
dents and injury.
