BMW 330CI Manual Do Utilizador

79

You can drive as with a normal auto-
matic transmission. In addition, you can 
also shift manually.

When you move the selector lever from 
the D position to the left into the M/S 
range, the performance-oriented shift 
programs of the automatic transmission 
are engaged. Steptronic enters the 
manual selection mode and executes 
the desired shift whenever you tap the 
selector lever in the direction indicated 
by + or –. Whenever you want to use 
automatic again, just move the selector 
lever toward the right to position D.

Under normal operating conditions, fuel 
consumption is lowest when driving in 
position D.

P R N D M/S + –

The engine can only be started in selec-
tor lever positions P – for Park – or N – 
for Neutral.

A catch prevents inadvertent movement 
of the selector lever to positions R and 
P. To deactivate the catch, press the 
button on the front of the selector lever 
knob, see arrow.

While the vehicle is stationary and 
before shifting out of Park or Neu-

tral, depress the footbrake in order to 
disengage the selector lever's lock 
mechanism – Shiftlock.

<

Hold the footbrake down until 
starting off. Otherwise the vehicle 

will 'creep' when a drive position is 
engaged. To prevent the vehicle from 
starting off on its own, always move the 
selector lever to position P and engage 
the parking brake before leaving your 
vehicle with the engine running.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended 
with the engine running. An unattended 
vehicle with a running engine repre-
sents a safety hazard.
