Select only when the vehicle is stationary.

N Neutral

You can select this position, for example, in car
washes. The vehicle can roll.

Transmission remains in N even after the
ignition is switched off whenever you

leave the remote control in the ignition lock.
This function is useful in automatic car washes,
etc.
After approx. 30 minutes the system automati-
cally shifts into position P. Observe the mes-
sages on the Info Display.

D Drive, automatic position

This is the mode recommended for normal
vehicle operation. All forward gears are avail-
able.
Under normal operating conditions, the fuel
consumption is lowest when driving in posi-
tion D.

The kick-down mode provides maximum accel-
eration.
Press the accelerator pedal beyond the full-
throttle resistance point.

Sport program and manual operation

Press button

1 on the steering wheel.

The sport program is activated and S appears
on the Info Display. This program is recom-
mended for a performance-oriented driving
style.
Press button

1 again to switch into the manual

mode and then into the Automatic program
again.
In the manual mode, the Steptronic changes
gears when one of the buttons

2 on the front or

back of the steering wheel is briefly pressed.
The Info Display shows the manual ranges M1
through M6.
Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combination
of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for example,
the system will not execute a downshift that
would cause the engine to overrev. The
requested gear appears briefly on the Info Dis-
play, followed by the current gear.
Press button

1 again to switch into the Auto-

matic program again.
