Temporary manual mode
In selector lever position D, pulling a shift pad-
dle switches into manual mode temporarily.
The engaged gear is also displayed in the in-

After conservative driving in manual mode
without acceleration or shifting via the shift
paddles for a certain amount of time, the
transmission switches back to automatic
mode.
It is possible to switch into automatic mode:
▷ Pull and hold the right shift paddle until D is
displayed in the instrument cluster.
▷ In addition to the pulled right shift paddle,
pull the left shift paddle.
Continuous manual mode
In Sport program S, pulling a shift paddle
switches to manual mode M permanently.
The engaged gear is displayed in the instru-
ment cluster, for instance M1.
