BMW 2006 M6 Coupe 业主指南

N Idle

Always engage before starting engine.
If the driving situation requires, e.g. when down-
shifting on a slippery road surface, the Sequen-
tial Manual Transmission automatically
clutches and then declutches again, i.e. it is not
necessary to engage idling manually.

N is automatically engaged after just a
few seconds when you open the driver's

door or the hood with the engine running and do
not operate either pedals, shift paddles or the
selector lever. In these cases, to start off after
closing the driver's door or the hood, first move
the selector lever into the position N and then
into the drive position.

S Sequential mode

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.
After every engine start, as soon as the selector
lever is pushed to the right into the drive posi-
tion

Β and the brake pedal is pressed, the

Sequential mode is activated.
Starting off is also possible on a level road sur-
face in second gear, e.g. in case of ice.
In the following situations, the Sequential Man-
ual Transmission thinks for you:

Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combina-
tion of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for
example, the system will not execute a
downshift that would cause the engine to
overrev.

When the vehicle is stationary, the trans-
mission automatically downshifts into first
gear.

Shortly before dropping below a gear-
dependent minimum speed, the transmis-
sion downshifts automatically even without
your intervention.

D Drive mode

In the Drive mode, all forward gears are shifted
automatically.
Shifting from Sequential mode to Drive mode:
press selector lever to the right toward D/S.
To switch back into the Sequential mode: press
selector lever to the right again toward D/S or
shift using the shift paddles or the selector
lever.
Kick-down: for rapid acceleration, e.g. passing,
press the accelerator pedal as far down as it will
go. You achieve maximum acceleration.
