Select only when the vehicle is station-
ary. Press the gearshift lever to the left
to overcome the resistance.

As you do this, the backup lamps will
turn on automatically when the ignition
key is in position 2.

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

If you move the selector lever from
position D to the left into gearshift gate
M/S, this activates the sports-style shift
programs of the automatic transmis-
sion. As soon as you briefly press the
selector lever in the

–

direction,

Steptronic changes the gear. The man-
ual mode is engaged. When you wish to
use the automatic transmission mode
again, move the selector lever to the
right into the D position.

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