Shifting Gear, Traction Systems
M - Manual selection mode (in the off-
road driving program)
The functions of selector lever positions D and M
differ in the on-road program, High Range, and in
the off-road program, Low Range.
The currently selected gear is retained if you
change from
D
to
M
.
If you change from M to D , the gear-changing map
suitable for your current driving style is selected
and the appropriate gear is selected.
Warning!
The kickdown function is not active in manual
selection mode “M“.
The kickdown function cannot be used to
downshift in manual selection mode “M“.
f Therefore shift down manually when accelerat-
ing (e.g. to overtake).
Tip on driving
The kickdown function is
not
active in selector le-
ver position M .
Unlike in the road driving program, an automatic
upshift is not performed when the engine-speed
limit is reached.
Shifting up
f Press upper part (+) of a rocker switch A or
f Push selector lever B forward in the M gate.
Shifting down
f
Press lower part (–) of a rocker switch
A or
f
Push selector lever B back in the M gate.
Depending on driving speed and engine speed,
you can shift up or down at any time. Gear chang-
es which would exceed the upper or lower engine-
speed limit are not executed by the control unit.
You can change down two gears by quickly press-
ing rocker switches A or selector lever B twice.
The gear is changed down automatically just be-
fore idle speed is reached.
f Select an appropriately low gear on upward
and downward slopes.
This will ensure optimum use of engine power
and engine braking.
If manual mode fails, the control electronics
switch to automatic mode. In this event, the instru-
ment panel will display selector lever position D .
