automatically performed in M/S manual
mode.
For vehicles with Steptronic Sport transmis-
sion, automatic shift operations are not per-
formed if one of the following conditions is
met:
– DSC is deactivated.
– TRACTION is activated.
In addition, there is no downshifting for
kickdown.
With the appropriate transmission version,
the lowest possible gear can be selected by
simultaneously activating kickdown and op-
erating the left shift paddles. This is not
possible by switching briefly via the shift
paddles from selector lever position D to
manual mode M/S.
Ending the manual mode
Push the selector lever to the right.
