Overview

Automatic transmission with Steptronic

If you leave the vehicle with the
engine running, move the selector

lever to the "Park" or "Neutral" position
and apply the parking brake. If you fail
to do this, the vehicle could move.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended
with the engine running. An unattended
vehicle with a running engine repre-
sents a potential safety hazard.

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.
When you select "Reverse", the backup
lamps will turn on automatically when
the ignition key is in position 2.

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 indi-
cated by "D 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 Pro-
gram 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.
Depending on the equipment version,
1 to 5 or M1 to M5 is indicated in the
transmission range display.
