Drive position
The automatic transmission auto-
matically shifts all five or six forward
gears. The drive position will provide
optimal driving characteristics in
almost all operating circumstances.

While driving, you can restrict or
derestrict the shift range manually
for uphill or downhill gradients using
the

Drive programs
The automatic transmission offers the
Econ-
omy and Power drive programs. The drive pro-
grams support your desired driving style.
The
Economy drive program is designed for a
comfortable, economic driving style and makes
driving on slippery road surfaces easier.
The
Power drive program is designed for driving
where high performance or driving dynamics are
required.
After starting the engine, the standard drive pro-
gram
Economy is always active.
On fire engines, the standard drive program is
the
Power drive program and this is always
active after starting the engine.
You can switch between the drive programs at
any time.

If the automatic transmission is cold (trans-
mission fluid temperatures below −5 †), the
electronic management system only selects
reverse gear or the 2nd forward gear. When
the transmission fluid temperature returns to
above −5 †, all gears may be engaged again.
Stopping
!
When the transmission is set to neutral posi-
tion, only let the vehicle roll for short periods.
Prolonged rolling of the wheels, e.g. when
being towed, will result in transmission dam-
age.
While the continuous brake (engine brake/
retarder) is activated, the engine speed for
downshifts is higher than when the continu-
ous brake is not applied.
When stopping briefly, e.g. at traffic lights:
X
Maintain the gear position and stop the vehi-
cle with the service brake.
When stopping for a longer period with the
engine running:
X
Shift the transmission to neutral position.
The
Ü
indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up.
Driving tips
Accelerating
You can use the accelerator pedal position to
actively influence the shift point:
R
light throttle application: early upshift
R
heavy throttle application: late upshift
R
kickdown: maximum upshift delay and
extremely early downshift
Kickdown gear shifting
Use kickdown to increase performance and, if
necessary, for maximum vehicle acceleration.
