Pull one of the paddles backwards - towards
the steering wheel - and release.

"+": Selects the next higher gear.
A gear change occurs at each pull of the paddle
provided that the engine speed does not leave
the permitted range.
After each gear change the figure in the driver
display changes to show the current gear.
Deactivating the function
Manual deactivation in gear position D.
–
Deactivate the steering wheel paddles by
pulling the right-hand paddle (+) toward the
steering wheel and holding in place until the
figure in the driver display for the current
gear extinguishes.
Automatic deactivation
In gear position D the steering wheel paddles are
deactivated after a short time if they are not used.
This is indicated by means of the figure for the
current gear extinguishing. The exception is dur-
ing engine braking - then the paddles are acti-
vated for as long as engine braking is in pro-
gress.
In gear position M there is no automatic deactiva-
tion.

Gear selector inhibitor
The gear selector inhibitor prevents accidental
changing between different gear positions in an
automatic gearbox.
Automatic gear selector inhibitor
The automatic gear selector inhibitor has special
safety systems.
From park position - P
To be able to move the gear selector from the P
position, the brake pedal must be depressed and
the ignition position must be II.
From neutral position - N
If the gear selector is in the N position and the
car has been stationary for at least 3 seconds
(irrespective of whether the engine is running)
then the gear selector is locked.
To be able to move the gear selector from the N
position to another gear position, the brake pedal
must be depressed and the ignition position must
be II.
Message in the driver display
If the gear selector is inhibited, a message is
shown in the driver display, e.g.
