Automatic transmission with Steptronic*
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 unat-
tended with the engine running. An
unattended vehicle with a running
engine represents a potential safety
hazard.<
P Park
Select "Park" only when the vehicle is
completely stopped. The transmission
locks to prevent the rear wheels from
turning.
R Reverse
Select "Reverse" only when the vehicle
is completely stopped.
N Neutral (idle)
Select "Neutral" only if your journey is
interrupted for a longer period.
D Drive
(automatic shift program)
This position is designed for driving
under all normal operating conditions.
All forward gears are available.
"Kickdown"
In the "kickdown" mode, you achieve
maximum acceleration and top speed
in position D.
Depress the accelerator pedal past the
resistance point at the full-throttle posi-
tion.
M/S Manual mode and
Sport Program
When you change from "D" to "M/S,"
the Sport Program is activated. This is
indicated by "D S" in the transmission
range display. The Sport Program is
designed for performance-oriented
driving.
With the first brief touch, the automatic
transmission shifts from the Sport Pro-
gram to the manual mode. Whenever
you move the selector lever in the "+"
direction, the transmission upshifts, and
when you move it in the "–" direction,
the transmission downshifts. M1...M5
will be displayed in the gear indicator.
