A
Neutral
Do not shift the transmission to N
while driving. Otherwise, the auto-
matic transmission could be dam-
aged.
No power is transmitted from the
engine to the drive wheels.
Releasing the brakes will allow you
to move the vehicle freely, e.g. to
push it or tow it.
If ESP
® is deactivated or faulty:
shift the transmission only to posi-
tion N if the vehicle is in danger of
skidding, e.g. on icy roads.
If you switch the engine off with the
transmission in position R or D, the
automatic transmission shifts to N
automatically.
!
Rolling in neutral N can lead to
damage to the transmission.
7 Drive
The automatic transmission
changes gear automatically. All
forward gears are available.

vidual gears automatically when it is in trans-

mined by:

(
Y
page 193)
R
the road speed
Accelerator pedal position
Your style of driving influences how the auto-
matic transmission shifts gear:

R
more throttle: late upshifts
