Automatic transmission with Steptronic
*
Before leaving the car with the
engine running, move the auto-
matic transmission selector lever to
position P or N and apply the hand-
brake to prevent the car from moving.
Do not leave the car unattended with
the engine running, as this constitutes a
potentially severe accident risk.
<
P Park
Engage only when the car is standing
still. The driven wheels are locked.
R Reverse
Engage only when the car is standing
still.
N Neutral
Select only if the journey is interrupted
for a fairly long time.
D Drive (automatic shift position)
Use this position for all normal driving.
All forward gears are available.
"Kick-down"
In "kick-down" position, you achieve
maximum acceleration and top speed
in position D.
Press the accelerator pedal down
beyond the regular full-throttle position;
increased resistance will be felt.
M/S Manual mode and
Sport program
When changing from D to M/S, the
Sport program is activated and D S
displayed on the instrument panel.
This position is recommended if it is
intended to make full use of the car's
available performance.
When the lever is next moved, the auto-
matic transmission will switch from the
Sport program to the manual-shift
mode. If you press the lever briefly in
the "+" direction, the transmission shifts
up; if you press it in the "" direction, a
downshift takes place. The gear display
reads 1 to 5 or M1 to M5 according to
version.
