Transmission positions
B
Park position
This prevents the vehicle from rolling
away when stopped. Do not shift the
transmission into position P unless
the vehicle is stationary.
The automatic transmission shifts to
P automatically if you:
R
remove the key
R
open the driver's door while the
vehicle is stationary or travelling at
very low speeds and the transmis-
sion is in position D or R
The parking lock should not be used
as a brake when parking. Always
apply the parking brake as well once
you have parked the vehicle.
C
Reverse gear
Only shift the transmission to
R when
the vehicle is stationary.
A
Neutral
No power is transmitted from the
engine to the drive wheels. Releasing
the brakes will allow you to move the
vehicle freely, e.g. by pushing or tow-
ing.
If ESP
®
is deactivated or faulty: shift
the transmission to position N if the
vehicle is in danger of skidding, e.g.
on icy roads.
When you switch off the engine, the
automatic transmission automati-
cally shifts into neutral N.
! When the engine is switched off,
coasting in neutral N can damage
the power transmission and the
transmission itself.

Drive
The automatic transmission changes
gear automatically. All forward gears
are available.
You can influence gearshifts with
your choice of drive program. You
can also restrict the shift range.

The transmission positions and current drive
program
:
are shown at the bottom of the
instrument cluster display. The current trans-
mission position is highlighted.
In drive program
M, the transmission position
indicator shows the current gear in position D
(

page 171).
If you restrict the shift range, the transmission
position indicator shows the current transmis-
sion position plus restricted shift range
=
, e.g.
D2 (
Y
page 169).
The arrows in the transmission position display
show how and into which transmission positions
you can change using the DIRECT SELECT lever.
Changing gear
The 7-speed automatic transmission adapts to
your individual driving style by continuously
adjusting its shift points. These shift point
adjustments take into account the current oper-
ating and driving conditions. If the operating or
driving conditions change, the automatic trans-
mission reacts by adjusting the gearshift pro-
gram.
The 7-speed automatic transmission shifts to
the individual gears automatically when it is in
transmission position D. This depends on:
R
the drive program selected (
Y
page 170)
R
whether the shift range is restricted or not
(
Y
page 169)
R
the position of the accelerator pedal
R
the road speed
You can also change gear manually if you select
drive program M (
Y
page 171).
