CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (CVT)
*
You can drive with a steplessly shifting CVT.
In addition, you can also shift manually.
When you move the selector lever from the
D position to the right into the M/S + –
range, the performance-oriented shift
programs of the CVT are engaged. Step-
tronic enters the manual selection mode
and executes the desired shift whenever
you tap the selector lever in the direction
indicated by "+" or "–" .
Whenever you want to use automatic
again, just move the selector lever toward
the left to position D.
In positition D, you achieve the
lowest fuel consumption for average
driving.

Inadvertent engaging of certain selector
lever positions is prevented by a lock.
Press the button on the front side of the
selector lever knob. The lock is released.
While the vehicle is stationary and
before shifting out of P or N, press
the brake pedal in order to disengage the
selector lever lock mechanism (Shiftlock).
If the engine speed is too high when the
vehicle is at a standstill, the selector lever
is also blocked to protect the transmission.
Hold the brake pedal down until starting
off. Otherwise the vehicle will "creep" when
a drive position is engaged.
<
To prevent the vehicle from starting
off on its own, always move the
selector lever to position P or N and engage
the parking brake before leaving your
vehicle with the engine running.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended with
the engine running. An unattended vehicle
with a running engine represents a poten-
tial safety hazard.
<
If the selector lever is not placed in
position P when the vehicle is parked,
the position display of the selector lever
stays on. This can lead to battery
discharge.
