All forward gears are available.
Under normal operating conditions, fuel
consumption is lowest when driving in
position D.

Kickdown

The kickdown mode provides maximum
acceleration:
Press the accelerator pedal beyond the
full-throttle resistance point.

M/S manual operation and
Sport program

Move the selector lever from position D to
the left into gearshift gate M/S:

The sport program is activated and DS
appears in the instrument cluster.
This position is recommended for a perfor-
mance-oriented driving style. It is engaged
automatically when the Dynamic Driving
Control is activated, see below.

When the selector lever is moved slightly
towards + or –, the Steptronic shifts gear
and manual operation is activated. The
instrument cluster shows M1 through M6.

Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combi-
nation of engine and vehicle speed; thus,
for example, a downshift that would cause
the engine to overrev will not be executed
by the system. The selected gear appears
briefly in the instrument cluster, followed by
the current gear.

To use the automatic function again, move
the selector lever to the right into posi-
tion D.

Malfunction

The warning lamp lights up and a
message appears on the Control
Display. There is a malfunction in

the transmission system. Avoid heavy
loads.
While it will remain still possible to move
the selector lever to any desired position,
the transmission will revert to operation in
its default mode with only a limited number
of forward gears.
Have the system checked as soon as pos-
sible.

better contact with the road surface

The stored speed you call up is reached
more quickly.

The engine speed range is used opti-
mally in the Drive mode.
