The currently engaged gear is displayed, in
the Drive mode preceded by a D.
Shiftlock
Press the brake pedal before shifting out
of N; the shift command will not be exe-
cuted unless the brake is applied.
R Reverse
Select only when the vehicle is stationary.
Sequential mode
After every engine start, as soon as the
selector lever is pushed to the right and the
brake pedal is pressed, the Sequential
mode is activated.
The gear is changed using the shift paddles
or selector lever.
Driving off is also possible in second gear,
e.g. when the roadway is icy.
D Drive mode
In the Drive mode, all forward gears are
shifted automatically.
To switch from the sequential to Drive
mode: lightly press the selector lever to the
right towards D.
Kickdown:
For rapid acceleration, e. g. overtaking,
press the accelerator pedal as far down as
it will go – kickdown. You achieve maxi-
mum acceleration.
To return to the sequential mode: lightly
press the selector lever back to the right
towards D or change the current gear using
the shift paddles or selector lever.
Start off quickly on slopes. Do not
hold the vehicle on a hill by pressing
the accelerator, but apply the handbrake
instead. Otherwise overheating can occur
in the area of the transmission.

transmission automatically downshifts
