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. It is

for this reason that various shift pro-

grams are used.

For additional details concerning the

ATC, please refer to the chapter de-

scribing "Advanced technology" on

page 162.

While the vehicle is stationary and

before shifting out of "Park" or

"Neutral," depress the footbrake in

order to disengage the selector lever's

lock mechanism (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 car unattended with the

engine running. An unattended vehicle

with a running engine represents a po-

tential safety hazard.<
