Neutral is selected automatically if 
the driver's door is opened while 

the engine is running and you have not 
pressed a pedal, operated a shift pad-
dle, or moved the selector lever.
An acoustic signal sounds and the gear 
display flashes to indicate automatic 
selection of Neutral. The N symbol 
appears in the gear display in the 
instrument cluster.
The driver's door has to be closed 
before you can select a drive position.
When the car is unlocked, a buzzing 
sound in the area of the transmission 
indicates that the system is ready.

<

When the car is at a standstill, a safety 
function requires you to depress the 
brake pedal if you want to move the 
selector lever from the neutral position 
N to a drive position.

Use enough acceleration to pull 
away speedily when moving off on 

an uphill gradient. Never try to prevent 
the car from rolling back on an uphill 
gradient by depressing the accelerator 
pedal; always apply the handbrake. 
Otherwise you could overheat the SMG 
transmission.

<

Engage this gear only when the car is 
standing still.

Always select before starting the 
engine, see page 

.

When you start the engine, this mode is 
always activated as soon as you 
depress the brake pedal and move the 
selector lever to the forward-drive posi-
tion.

To change gear, use the shift paddles 
on each side of the steering wheel, or 
the selector lever.

You can also pull away from rest in sec-
ond gear, for example if there is snow 
on the road.

All forward gears are shifted automati-
cally in Drive mode. 

To change from sequential mode to 
Drive mode: lightly press the selector 
lever to the right toward D.

Sharply press the accelerator all the 
way down for rapid acceleration, 
for example when you want to overtake: 
kick-down.

To change back to sequential mode: 
lightly press the selector lever to the 
right toward D or change gears using 
the shift paddles or the selector lever.

You can achieve maximum acceleration 
using kick-down.

Press the accelerator pedal down 
beyond the regular full-throttle position; 
increased resistance will be felt.
