Manual transmission

Automatic transmission with Steptronic

Reverse

Select Reverse only when the vehicle is
completely stopped. Press the gearshift
lever to the left to overcome the resis-
tance.

As you do this, the backup lamps will
turn on automatically when the ignition
key is in position 2.

Do not hold the vehicle in place on
slopes by slipping or riding the

clutch. Use the parking brake instead,
since a slipping clutch increases clutch
wear.

You can drive as with a normal auto-
matic transmission. In addition, you can
also shift manually.

When you move the selector lever from
the D position to the left into the M/S
range, the performance-oriented shift
programs of the automatic transmission
are engaged. As soon as you tap the
selector lever in the

–

direction,

Steptronic changes the gear. The
manual mode is engaged. When you
wish to use the automatic transmission
mode again, move the selector lever to
the right into the D position.

Under normal operating conditions, fuel
consumption is lowest when driving in
position D.
