Automatic transmission with Steptronic*

You have the option of driving with a

normal automatic transmission or

switching to manual.

When you move the selector lever from

the "D" position to the left into the M/S

range, the performance-oriented shift

programs of the automatic transmission

are engaged. As soon as you briefly

touch the selector lever in the "+" or "–"

direction, Steptronic changes the gear.

The manual mode is engaged. When-

ever you want to use automatic again,

just shift the selector lever toward the

right to position "D".

The automatic transmission with Step-

tronic is equipped with ATC (Adaptive

Transmission Control). ATC reacts with

precision to your individual driving style

and the current driving conditions. To

achieve this, different shift programs

are engaged.

For additional details concerning ATC,

please refer to the chapter describing

"Advanced technology" on page 172.

While the vehicle is stationary and

before shifting out of "Park" or

"Neutral," depress the footbrake, other-

wise the selector lever gets blocked

(Shiftlock).

Hold the footbrake down until starting

off. Otherwise the vehicle will "creep"

when a drive position is engaged.<

If you leave the vehicle with the

engine running, move the selector

lever to the "Park" or "Neutral" position

and apply the parking brake. If you fail

to do this, the vehicle could move. Do

not leave the vehicle unattended with

the engine running. An unattended ve-

hicle with a running engine represents a

potential safety hazard.<

P Park

Select reverse only when the vehicle is

stationary. The transmission locks to

prevent the rear wheels from turning.

R Reverse

Select reverse only when the vehicle is

stationary.

N Neutral

Select "Neutral" only if your journey is

interrupted for a longer period.
