Driving tips
Double-clutch function
When shifting down, the double-clutch func-
tion is active regardless of the currently selec-
ted drive program. The double-clutch function
reduces the load change reaction on the drive
axle. The sound generated by the double-
clutch function depends on the drive program
selected.
Kickdown

Kickdown is not available in manual drive
program M.

Depress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point.
Depending on the selected drive program,
the transmission shifts to the lowest gear
allowing ideal acceleration.

can choose from a range of different trans-

Steering wheel gearshift paddles
In transmission position D, you can use the
steering wheel gearshift paddles to restrict or
derestrict the transmission shift range. One
of the automatic drive programs, C, S or S+,
must be selected in order to do so.
In manual drive program M, you need to
change gear yourself using the steering wheel
gearshift paddles. At low engine speeds, the
transmission shifts down automatically.
