Gear positions for automatic
gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, the system chooses
the gear so that driving is optimal. The gearbox
also has a manual gearshift mode.
The driver display shows the gear position
selected:
P, R, N, D or M.
In manual gearshift mode, the gear being used is
also shown.
Changing gear
The gear selector is the shift-by-wire-type where
shifting is performed electronically instead of
mechanically. This means simpler shifting and
more distinct gear positions.
Change gear position by pressing the spring-loa-
ded gear selector forwards or backwards, or side-
ways for manual shifting.
Gear positions
Park position - P
The park position is activated via the P button
next to the gear selector.
Select the P position when the car is parked or
when starting the engine. The car must be sta-
tionary when the park position is selected.
To select another gear position when the park
position is selected, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the ignition position must be II.
To park - first apply the parking bake and then
select park position.
WARNING
Always use the parking brake when parking
on an inclined surface. Engaging a gear or the
automatic transmission's P position is not suf-
ficient to hold the car stationary in all situa-
tions.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in P position to
allow the car to be locked and alarmed.
Help functions
The system will change to P position automati-
cally:
•
if the car is switched off in position D or R.
•
if the driver unfastens the seatbelt and opens
the driver's door when the car is running with
the gear selector in a position other than P.
To park a car without wearing the seatbelt and
with the door open - exit the P position by select-
ing R or D again.
Reverse position - R
Select position R to reverse. The car must be sta-
tionary when reverse position is selected.
