Notes on the transmission
G
Risk of accident
The movement of the pedals must not be
impaired in any way. Do not keep any objects
in the driver's footwell. Make sure that floor-
mats or carpets are correctly secured and
that there is sufficient clearance for the ped-
als.
Do not place several floormats on top of one
another.
G
Risk of accident
Do not change down for additional engine
braking on a slippery road surface. This could
cause the drive wheels to lose their grip and
the vehicle could skid. This could cause you
to lose control of your vehicle and cause an
accident.

!
When shifting between fifth and sixth
gear, you should always push the gear lever
all the way to the right. Otherwise, you
could shift unintentionally into third or
fourth gear and damage the transmission.
Do not exceed the maximum speed for the
individual gears.
If you shift down at too high a speed (trans-
mission braking), this can cause the engine
to overrev, leading to engine damage.
Engaging reverse gear
!
Only engage reverse gear when the vehi-
cle is stationary, otherwise the transmis-
sion could be damaged.
i
The ECO Start/Stop function is not avail-
able when reverse gear is engaged.
X
Move the gear lever firmly to the left
beyond the point of resistance and then
forwards.
