Driving

64

N Neutral

You can select N in car washes, for example.

The vehicle can roll.

D Drive, automatic position

Position for normal vehicle operation.

All forward gears are available.

Under normal operating conditions, the fuel

consumption is lowest when driving in posi-

tion D.

Kick-down

The kick-down mode provides maximum accel-

eration:

Press the accelerator pedal beyond the full-

throttle resistance point.

Sport program and manual mode M/S

Move the selector lever from position D to the

left into shifting slot M/S:

The sport program is activated and DS is dis-

played in the instrument cluster. This position is

recommended for a performance-oriented driv-

ing style. It is engaged automatically when the

Dynamic Driving Control is activated, refer to

Dynamic Driving Control.

When the selector lever is briefly moved for-

ward or back, the manual mode is activated and

the Steptronic shifts gear. The instrument clus-

ter shows M1 through M6.

Upshifts and downshifts are executed only

when they will result in a plausible combination

of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for example,

the system will not execute a downshift that

would cause the engine to overrev. The

selected gear is briefly displayed in the instru-

ment cluster, followed by the current gear.

To use the automatic function again, move the

selector lever to the right into position D.

Deactivating selector lever interlock

If the selector lever is blocked in position P even

though the button on the selector lever is

pressed, the selector lever interlock can be

deactivated:

1. Unclip the sleeve of the selector lever.

2. Pull the sleeve up over the selector lever.

3. Using the screwdriver from the onboard

toolkit, refer to page 212, press the lever at

the point marked in red and move the selec-

tor lever into the desired position.

Dynamic Driving Control

The Dynamic Driving Control makes it possible

for your BMW to react in an even more perfor-

mance-oriented manner at the push of a button:

> The engine responds more spontaneously

to accelerator pedal movements.

> Cruise control:

The stored speed is reached more quickly

when requested.

Additionally with SMG:

> Gearshifts are faster.

> The engine speed range is used optimally in

the Drive mode.

With automatic transmission:

> The Sport program is activated.
