Shift ranges
Introduction
In transmission position D, you can use the
steering wheel gearshift paddle to restrict or
derestrict the shift range for the automatic
transmission (

The shift range selected is shown in the mul-
tifunction display. The automatic transmis-
sion shifts only as far as the selected gear.
Driving situations
=
To use the engine's braking effect
5 To use the braking effect of the
engine on downhill gradients and
for driving:
R
on steep mountain roads
R
in mountainous terrain
R
in arduous conditions
4
To use the braking effect of the
engine on extremely steep downhill
gradients and on long downhill
stretches
Restricting the shift range
X
Pull the left-hand steering wheel gearshift
paddle.
The automatic transmission shifts down
one gear and restricts the shift range to the
relevant gear.
i
If the engine exceeds the maximum
engine speed when shifting down, the auto-
matic transmission protects against engine
damage by not shifting down.
i
If the maximum engine speed for the shift
range is reached and you continue to accel-
erate, the automatic transmission shifts up,
even if the shift range is restricted. This
prevents the engine from overrevving.
Derestricting the shift range
X
Pull the right-hand steering wheel gearshift
paddle.
The shift range is derestricted.
Clearing the shift range restriction
X
Pull and hold the right-hand steering wheel
gearshift paddle until D is shown again in
the multifunction display.
The automatic transmission shifts from the
current shift range directly to D.
or
X
Use the DIRECT SELECT lever to shift the
transmission to position D.
The automatic transmission shifts from the
current shift range directly to D.
Selecting the ideal shift range
X
Pull the left-hand steering wheel gearshift
paddle and hold it in position.
The automatic transmission shifts to the
gear which allows optimum acceleration
and deceleration. To do this, the automatic
transmission shifts down one or more
gears.
