Shifting
General information
Depending on the motorization, the engine
speed during a shifting operation is ad-
justed automatically as required for harmo-
nious gear shifting.
Reverse gear
Select only when the vehicle is stationary.
To overcome the resistance push the gear-
shift lever dynamically to the left and en-
gage reverse gear with a forward shifting
movement.
Rolling or pushing the vehicle
In some situations, the vehicle is to roll
without its own power, for instance in a car
wash, or be pushed.
1. Switch on the ignition.
2. Press on the clutch pedal and shift out
of a forward gear or reverse.
3. Release the parking brake.
Steptronic transmission
Concept
The Steptronic transmission combines the
functions of an automatic transmission with
the possibility of manual shifting, if needed.

An unsecured vehicle can begin to move
and possibly roll away. There is a risk of

cle against rolling.

cured against rolling away, follow the fol-
lowing:

rection of the curb.
– On uphill grades or on a downhill
slope, also secure the vehicle, for in-
stance with a wheel chock.
