SMG Sequential Manual

Transmission*

The concept

The SMG Sequential Manual Transmission is
an automated manual transmission in which an
electrohydraulic system handles the clutching
and gear changes.
The SMG is operated with the selector lever
and two shift paddles on the steering wheel.
It offers you the following functions:

Optional manual or automatic operation:
Sequential mode or Drive mode

You have a choice of two driving programs:
Normal or Sport, refer to Dynamic Driving
Control page

Automatic downshifting and prevention of
incorrect shifting even in Sequential opera-
tion

Acceleration assistant, refer to page

Selector lever positions

R: Reverse gear

N: Neutral

One-touch functions for Sequential mode:
+: manual upshifting
–: manual downshifting

D: activate/deactivate the Drive mode

The transmission automatically shifts
into N if the driver's door is opened with

the engine running and neither the pedals, the
shift paddles nor the selector lever are oper-
ated.
This is signaled by an acoustic signal and the
flashing display N in the instrument cluster; a
message appears on the Control Display.

Gear display

R N 1 to 6
The currently engaged gear is displayed, pre-
ceded by a D in Drive mode.

It is only possible to recognize whether
the desired selector lever position is

engaged with this display.

Shiftlock

Press the brake pedal before shifting out of N;
the shift command will not be executed unless
the brake is applied.

R Reverse

Select only when the vehicle is stationary.

Sequential mode

After every engine start, as soon as the selector
lever is pushed to the right and the brake pedal
is pressed, the Sequential mode is activated.
You can shift up and down using the shifting
paddles or the selector lever. You do not need
to remove your foot from the accelerator to do
so.
It is also possible to start off in second gear, e.g.
in slippery conditions.
