Engaging selector lever position N
NOTICE
Selector lever position P is automatically
engaged when standby state is switched
off. The wheels are blocked. There is a risk
of damage to property. Do not switch off
standby if the vehicle is meant to coast,
e.g., in a car wash.
To engage selector lever position N, proceed
as follows:
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Switch on drive-ready state.
3. Engage selector lever position N.
4. Switch off drive-ready state.
In this way, standby state remains
switched on, and a Check Control mes-
sage is displayed.
The vehicle can roll.
The parking brake is engaged automatically
after approx. 35 minutes.
If the system is not operational, you may
not be able to change the selector lever po-
sition.
If necessary, release the transmission lock
electronically.
Additional information:
Electronic unlocking of the transmission
lock, refer to page 121.
Kickdown
Kickdown is used to achieve maximum driv-
ing performance.
Step on the accelerator pedal beyond the
resistance point at the full throttle position.
Without shift paddles: LOW mode
Principle
LOW mode is recommended when the en-
gine braking effect needs to be increased,
for instance on steep downhill gradients.
General information
In LOW mode, the transmission contin-
ues shifting automatically, but generally
in lower gears than in selector lever posi-
tion D.
LOW mode can therefore also be used to
accelerate faster.
Enabling LOW mode
To activate LOW mode, tap the selector
lever from selector lever position D to D/L.
The transmission's LOW mode is enabled.
Exiting LOW mode
To activate LOW mode, pull the selector
lever to D/L.
D is shown on the Interaction Unit.
With shift paddles: S program
Principle
The shifting points and shifting times in
the Sport program are designed for sport-
ier handling. The transmission, for instance
shifts up later and the shifting times are
shorter.
Activating the Sport program
To activate the Sport program, tap the selec-
tor lever toward selector lever position D/S.
The sport program of the transmission is
activated.
