Automatic gearbox
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Select selector lever position 92
Selector lever lock 93
Manual shifting (Tiptronic) 93
Starting-off and driving 94
The automatic transmission performs an automatic gear change irrespective of
the engine load, the operation of the accelerator, the vehicle speed and the
selected driving mode.
The modes of the automatic transmission can be adjusted by the driver by
means of the selector lever.
WARNING
■
Do not accelerate when selecting drive mode prior to moving off - risk of
accident!
■
Never move the selector lever to mode R or P when driving – risk of acci-
dent!
■
If the vehicle stalls, with engine running, in the D, S, R or Tiptronic mode,
the vehicle must be prevented from rolling away by means of the brake
pedal or the parking brake. Even when the engine is idling, the power
transmission is never completely interrupted – the vehicle crawls forward.
■
When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever must always be set to P. Oth-
erwise, the vehicle could be set in motion - risk of accident.
CAUTION
If you want to move the selector lever from position N to position D / S whilst
driving, the engine must be running at idling speed.
