Operating Easytronic with the 
selector lever
Always move the selector lever all the way 
in the chosen direction. Observe the gear 
or mode indicator in the transmission 
display.
Selector lever in N 
Neutral. 
Starting the engine
The engine can only be started when the 
selector lever is in and the footbrake is 
depressed. "N" appears in the transmission 
display. If the footbrake is not depressed, 
"N" flashes in the transmission display and 
the engine will not start.
If no brake lights are operational, the 
engine will not start.
Selector lever in o (centre position)
After movement of the selector lever from 
N to position o (centre position) while the 
footbrake is depressed, Easytronic is in 
Automatic mode and first gear is engaged. 
"A" appears in the transmission display.
After the footbrake is released, the vehicle 
begins to "creep". If the footbrake is not 
depressed, "A" flashes. Start off by 
immediately depressing the accelerator 
pedal or move the selector lever back to N 
and repeat the procedure with the 
footbrake depressed.
In Automatic mode, the transmission shifts 
into other gears automatically based on 
driving conditions. 
In Manual mode, a gear can be selected 
manually by tapping the selector lever to 
the 
+
 or 
position. The transmission display 
indicates the current gear.
If the engine speed is too low, the 
Easytronic will automatically shift to a 
lower gear even in Manual mode. This 
prevents the engine from stalling. 
Selector lever in + or - 
+
Shift to a higher gear.
-
Shift to a lower gear.
If a higher gear is selected when the 
running speed is too low, or a lower gear 
when the speed is too high, no shift is 
effected. This prevents the engine from 
running at too low or too high revs. 
Gears can be skipped by jogging the 
selector lever repeatedly at short intervals. 
When the vehicle is in Automatic mode, 
Easytronic shifts to Manual mode when the 
selector lever is tapped to position

the selector lever and select R. The
