Warning buzzer

An acoustic signal sounds if the SMG
transmission overheats; if possible you
should either stop or increase your pull-
away speed, so that the system can
cool down.

Sport program

You have a choice of two driving pro-
grams: smoothly dynamic or sport.
When you select the sport program
gearshifts are faster in sequential mode
and the shift points are remapped in
Drive mode.

To select the sport program: press the
SPORT button. The LED in the button
lights up.

Acceleration assistance

Acceleration assistance permits opti-
mum racing-style acceleration when
you pull away from rest on surfaces
with good grip.

Do not use the acceleration
assistant over-frequently, as oth-

erwise components would suffer pre-
mature wear.

1. Activate the Sport program
2. Press the DSC button, see page

and keep it pressed for longer than
three seconds

3. Quickly press the accelerator pedal

fully down: kick-down. The engine is
electronically balanced to achieve
maximum pullaway rpm.

In order to maintain maximum
driving stability, you should drive

with the DSC system activated when-
ever possible.
