L (Low gear)
The gearbox does not upshift in position L! Select position L if you wish to drive in first or second gear
and you do not wish to shift up (when driving in hilly terrain, for example, as position L provides the
best engine braking power). The transmission will conspicuously shift down from second to first if road
speed drops to below 25 or 20 mph (40 km/h or 30 km/h) (engines B6304 and B6254 respectively) when
driving in Economy mode. When driving in Sport mode, the same very noticeable shift takes place if the
speed drops to below 6 mph (10 km/h).

Shift gate positions
The gear selector can be moved freely between D and 3. Selections of other positions are obtained by
depressing the selector knob prior to moving the selector.
Slightly depressing the selector knob allows selection of positions N, D, 3 and L. Fully depressing the
selector knob allows selection of positions R and P. This is also necessary when initially bringing the
selector out of position P. Fully depressing the selector knob thus permits shifting freely between all
positions.
