Automatic transmission with Steptronic*
You can drive as with a normal auto-
matic transmission, including Adaptive
Transmission Control (ATC). In addition,
you can also shift manually.
For individual gear selection, move the
selector lever from the "D" position to
the left and into the M/S range. This
selects the Sport Program of the auto-
matic transmission. As soon as you
move the selector lever in the "+" or "–"
direction, Steptronic changes the gear.
If you wish to utilize the automatic driv-
ing position once again, move the se-
lector lever to the right and into posi-
tion "D."
For details concerning ATC, please re-
fer to the chapter describing "Advanced
technology" on page 188.

Range selection
A detent prevents inadvertent shifts to
the "Reverse" or "Park" selector lever
positions. To disengage the detent,
press the button on the front of the shift
knob (arrow).
While the vehicle is stationary and
before shifting out of "Park" or
"Neutral," depress the footbrake in
order to disengage the selector lever's
lock mechanism (Shiftlock).
Hold the footbrake down until starting
off. Otherwise the vehicle will "creep"
when a drive position is engaged.<
