Manual mode
Manual mode M can be activated
from position D in each driving
situation and speed.
The selected gear is indicated in the
Driver Information Centre.
If a higher gear is selected when
vehicle speed is too low, or a lower
gear when vehicle speed is too high,
the shift is not executed. This can
cause a message in the Driver
Information Centre.
In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions.

gears manually.
Pull right paddle + to shift to a higher
gear.

Multiple pulls allow gears to be
skipped.
Gear shift indication
The symbol Y or Z with a number
beside it is indicated when
gearshifting is recommended for fuel
saving reasons.
Driving and operating
Shift indication appears only in
manual mode.
Engine braking
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill.
Electronic driving programmes
Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increases
engine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
Special programmes automatically
adapt the shifting points when driving
up inclines or down hills.
In snowy or icy conditions or on other
slippery surfaces, the electronic
transmission control enables the
driver to select manually first, second
or third gear for starting off.
Kickdown
Pressing down the accelerator pedal
beyond the kickdown detent will lead
to maximum acceleration
independent of selected driving
