Driving

To release

Pull up slightly on the lever, press the button

and lower the lever.

If, in exceptional circumstances, it should

be necessary to engage the parking brake

while the vehicle is in motion, do not pull it with

excessive pressure. Keep the release button on

the parking brake lever pressed down while

pulling up the lever.

Excessive pressure can lead to overbraking and

loss of traction, fishtailing, at the rear axle.

The brake lamps do not come on when the

parking brake is engaged.<

To avoid corrosion and one-sided brak-

ing, apply the parking brake lightly from

time to time when coasting to a standstill at a

traffic signal, for example, provided that it is safe

to do so.<

Manual transmission

6-gear transmission*

When shifting into 5th or 6th gear, press

the gearshift lever to the right. Otherwise,

the engine could be damaged by accidentally

engaging 3rd or 4th gear.<

Reverse

Select only when the vehicle is stationary. Press

the gearshift lever to the left to overcome the

resistance.

As you do this, the backup lamps will come on

automatically when the ignition key is in

position 2.

In addition to operating the Steptronic as a fully

automatic transmission, you can also shift

gears manually with it, refer to page 39.
