Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission selects indi-
vidual gears automatically, depending
on:
앫 the gear selector lever position D
(
컄 page 180) with gear ranges
(
컄 page 182)
앫 the selected program mode (C/S)
(
컄 page 183)
앫 the position of the accelerator pedal
(
컄 page 181)
앫 the vehicle speed
! Allow engine to warm up under low load
use. Do not place full load on the engine until
the operating temperature has been reached.
Shift into reverse gear R or park position P
only when the vehicle is stopped.
Avoid spinning of a drive wheel for an
extended period when driving off on slippery
road surfaces. This may cause serious damage
to the drivetrain which is not covered by the
Maybach Limited Warranty.
When the gear selector lever is in
position D, you can influence transmis-
sion shifting by:
앫 limiting the gear range
앫 changing gears manually
Warning! G
It is dangerous to shift the gear selector
lever out of park position P or neutral
position N if the engine speed is higher
than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on
the brake pedal, the vehicle could acceler-
ate quickly forward or reverse. You could
lose control of the vehicle and hit someone
or something. Only shift into gear when
the engine is idling normally and when
your right foot is firmly on the brake
pedal.
