The gear selector can be moved freely between the Geartronic (manual shifting) and (D)rive positions while driving.

Gear selector positions

Select the P position when starting or parking.
In P, the transmission is mechanically blocked (Shiftlock). Always apply the parking brake when parking.

CAUTION!
The car must be stationary when selecting position P.

The car must be stationary when shifting to position R.

N - Neutral
N
is the neutral position. The engine can be started, but no gear is selected. Apply the parking brake when the car is
stationary with the gear selector in N.

NOTE: If the gear selector is in the Neutral position and the car has been at a standstill for at least 3 seconds
(regardless of whether the engine is running or not), the gear selector will be locked in Neutral.

In order to move the gear selector to another position:
