Automatic transmission
For more information on driving with an
automatic transmission see “Automatic
transmission” (
컄 page 70).
Your vehicle’s transmission adapts its
gear shifting process to your individual
driving style by continually adjusting the
shift points up or down. These shift point
adjustments are performed based on
current operating and driving condi-
tions.
If the operating conditions change, the
automatic transmission reacts by adjust-
ing its shift program.
i During the brief warm-up, the transmis-
sion upshifting is delayed. This allows the
catalytic converter to heat up more quickly to
operating temperature.
The gear selector lever is located on the
lower part of the front center console.

Warning! G
Make sure that absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of move-
ment. Keep the driver’s footwell clear of
all obstacles. If there are any floormats or
carpets in the footwell, make sure that the
pedals still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden driving or braking maneu-
vers the objects could get caught between
the pedals. You could then no longer
brake or accelerate. This could lead to acci-
dents and injury.
