Stopping the vehicle 
In Automatic or Manual mode, first gear 
is automatically engaged (second gear if 
the Winter programme is engaged) and 
the clutch is released when the vehicle is 
stationary. In R, reverse gear remains 
engaged.
If a warning signal sounds when the 
driver’s door is opened (footbrake not 
depressed), move the selector lever to N 
and apply the handbrake. 
When stopping on gradients, engage the 
handbrake or depress the footbrake. 
To prevent overheating of the clutch, do 
not increase engine speed to ensure 
smooth idling when in gear.
Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy 
period, e.g. in traffic jams or at level 
crossings. 
Electronically controlled driving 
programmes in Automatic mode 
z By means of delayed gear changing 
(higher engine speeds) following a cold 
start, the operating temperature 
programme quickly and automatically 
brings the catalytic converter to the 
temperature required for optimum 
pollutant reduction. 
z Adaptive programmes automatically 
adapt gearshifting to suit the driving 
conditions, such as if the vehicle is 
towing a caravan / trailer, has a high 
payload, or is being driven on inclines.

Winter programme
In the event of difficulties starting-off on 
slippery roads, press button T ("A" and T 
are shown in the transmission display). 
Easytronic switches to Automatic mode 
and the vehicle sets off in second gear. 
The Winter programme is switched off by: 
z pressing button T again, 
z switching to Manual mode, 
z turning off the ignition.
In order to protect the Easytronic system, 
the Winter programme automatically 
switches itself off at extremely high clutch 
temperatures.
