Automatic transmission with Steptronic*

Before exiting the vehicle when

the engine is running, place the

selector lever in the "Park" or "Neutral"

position and apply the parking brake. If

you do not, the vehicle can move.

Do not leave the car unattended with

the engine running. An unattended ve-

hicle with a running engine represents a

potential safety hazard.<

P – Park

Select "Park" only when the vehicle is

stationary. The transmission locks to

prevent the rear wheels from turning.

R – Reverse

Select "Reverse" only when the vehicle

is stationary.

N – Neutral

Select "Neutral" only if your journey is

interrupted for a long period.

D – Drive

(automatic shift program)

This position is designed for driving un-

der all normal operating conditions. All

forward gears are available.

"Kickdown"

In the "Kickdown" mode, you achieve

maximum engine performance.

Press the accelerator pedal past the

increased resistance point at the full-

throttle position.

M/S – Manual mode and

Sport Program

When you change from "D" to M/S, the

Sport program is activated. This is indi-

cated by "D S" in the gear display. This

position is recommended if your driving

style is performance-oriented.

With the first brief touch, the automatic

transmission shifts from the Sport pro-

gram to manual mode.

When you move the selector lever for-

ward in the "+" direction, the transmis-

sion shifts up. When moved back in the

"–" direction, the transmission shifts

down.

Depending on the version, "1 to 5" or

"M1 to M5" appears in the gear display.
