M/S Manual mode and Sport program 
Move the selector lever from position D to the 
left into the M/S range:
The Sport program is activated. This is indi-
cated by the display SD in the instrument clus-
ter. This position is recommended for perfor-
mance-oriented driving. The Sport program is 
enabled automatically when the Driving 
Dynamic Control system is activated, refer to 
page
Steptronic enters the manual selection mode 
and executes the desired shift whenever you 
tap the selector lever in the direction indicated 
by + or –. M1 to M5 appear in the instrument 
cluster.
The transmission will only execute upshifts and 
downshifts that will result in an appropriate 
combination of vehicle speed and engine rpm. 
For instance, downshifts that would result in 
excessive engine speed will not be executed. 
The desired gear will appear briefly in the 
instrument cluster, followed by the actual gear.
To use the automatic transmission mode again, 
move the selector lever to the right to position 
D.
Malfunction 
The warning lamp lights up. The trans-
mission system is malfunctioning. 
Avoid heavy loads.
All of the selector lever positions can continue 
to be engaged; in the forward drive positions, 
however, the vehicle will be operating in a 
restricted gear range only. Have the system 
checked immediately.
