ing wheel gearshift paddle 1.
The automatic transmission shifts to the next
lower gear, depending on the gear currently
engaged. The shift range is also restricted.
The shift range selected is shown in the multi‐
function display. The automatic transmission
shifts only as far as the selected gear.

The automatic transmission will change to a
shift range which allows easy acceleration
and deceleration. To do this, the automatic
transmission shifts down one or more gears
and restricts the shift range.
The shift range selected is shown in the multi‐
function display. The automatic transmission
shifts only as far as the selected gear.

The automatic transmission does not shift
down if you pull steering wheel gearshift pad‐
dle

whilst traveling at too high a speed.
If the maximum engine speed for the restric‐
ted shift range is reached and you continue
to depress the accelerator pedal, the auto‐
matic transmission will shift up automatically.
This protects against engine overrev.
To de-restrict the shift range: briefly pull
#
steering wheel gearshift paddle 2.
The automatic transmission shifts to the next
gear up, depending on the gear currently
engaged. This de-restricts the shift range at
the same time.
The shift range selected is shown in the multi‐

The automatic transmission shifts up one or
more gears depending on the gear currently
engaged. Simultaneously, the shift range
restriction is deactivated and the transmis‐
sion position appears in the multifunction dis‐
play h.
Recommended shift ranges for the following driv‐
ing conditions:
3 Use the engine's braking effect.
2 Use the engine's braking effect on downhill
gradients and when driving on steep roads,
in mountainous areas as well as under ardu‐
ous operating conditions.
1 Use the engine's braking effect on extremely
steep downhill gradients and on long down‐
hill stretches.
Using kickdown
For maximum acceleration: depress the
#
accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point.
