Kick-down

You can achieve maximum perform-
ance using kick-down.

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

M/S Manual transmission and
sport program

If you move the selector lever from
position D to the left, into the M/S shift
plane, this activates the Sport program
and "SD" appears in the instrument
cluster. This position is recommended if
the car is to be driven in a sport-ori-
ented manner. As soon as you move
the lever in the + or – direction, the
Steptronic transmission's manual gear
shift mode is activated.

If you move the lever in the + direction,
the transmission shifts up; if you move
it in the – direction, a downshift takes
place. The display in the instrument
cluster shows M1 to M5.

The Steptronic performs upshifts and
downshifts only at a suitable engine or
road speed; for example, it will not shift
down if the resulting engine speed
would be too high. The instrument
panel then shows the selected gear
briefly, followed by the gear actually in
use.

If you wish to return to fully automatic
gear shifts, move the lever back to the
right, to position D.

The selector lever can only be moved
from M/S to the positions P, R and N if
it has first been moved back to D.

For rapid acceleration in the man-
ual-shift mode – for example when

overtaking – shift down manually or use
kick-down to shift to a lower gear.
