SMG Sequential Manual

Gearbox*

The concept

The SMG Sequential Manual Gearbox is an
automated manual transmission in which an
electrohydraulic system handles the clutching
and gear changes.
You operate the SMG using the selector-lever
in the center console and two shift paddles on
the steering wheel.
It offers the following functions:

Choice of manual or automatic mode:
Sequential mode or Drive mode

Choice of two drive programs: Normal or
Sport, refer to Dynamic Driving Control
page

Automatic downshifting and protection
against incorrect shifting even in sequential
operation

Acceleration assistant, refer to page

Selector-lever positions

The current selector-lever position is displayed
in the center console.

R: Reverse gear

N: Neutral, idle

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 indicated by an acoustic signal and the
flashing display N in the instrument cluster.

Gear display

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

This display is your only way to be sure
the desired selector lever position is actu-

ally engaged.

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.
