Indicator lamp

The indicator lamp lights up, and a sig-

nal also sounds when starting off. The

handbrake is engaged.

Indicator lamp for Canadian models.

Engaging

The lever engages automatically.

Releasing

Pull slightly upwards, press the button and

lower the lever.

If exceptional circumstances should

make it necessary to engage the hand-

brake while the vehicle is in motion, do not pull

it too strongly. In doing so, continuously press

the button of the handbrake lever. Otherwise,

excessive pressure can lead to the rear wheels

locking up and loss of traction – fishtailing – at

the rear axle.<

To prevent corrosion and one-sided brak-

ing action, occasionally apply the hand-

brake lightly when the vehicle is slowly coming

to a stop if the traffic conditions are suitable.

The brake lamps do not light up when the hand-

brake is engaged.<

Sequential Manual

The concept

The SMG Sequential Manual Transmission

with Drivelogic is an automated manual trans-

ated with the selector lever and two shift pad-

dles on the steering wheel.

It offers the following functions:

> Choice of manual or automatic mode:

Sequential mode or Drive mode

> Selection option between different driving

programs, Drivelogic, refer to page 54

> Upshift display, shift lights, refer to page 55

> Automatic downshifting and prevention of

incorrect shifting even in sequential opera-

tion

> Automatic double clutching

Selector lever positions

> R: Reverse gear

> N: Neutral, idle

> Β: Drive position:

> +: manual upshifting

> –: manual downshifting

> D/S: switch between Drive mode and

Sequential mode

Shiftlock

Press the brake pedal before shifting out of N;

the shift command will not be executed unless

the brake is applied.
